Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 scoops vanilla gelato or fior di latte gelato (or substitute vanilla ice cream)
  • 4 shots freshly brewed espresso (or substitute strongly brewed coffee)

Instruction

  • Plop 1 scoop of gelato in each of 4 squat glasses or coffee cups.
  • Give each dinner guest a glass containing a scoop of gelato, a small cup of espresso on the side, and a spoon. Then let everyone pour the espresso over the gelato and plunge their spoons in quickly so as to appreciate the contrast between hot and cold and still-distinct flavors before the cream melts into the dark liquid. Then sigh deeply out of contentment.
