Ingredients

2 scoops Vanilla Gelato or Ice Cream
60 ml Espresso
1 tablespoon Chocolate Shavings

Directions

Step 1

Chill your serving glass or bowl in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes prior to preparation to keep your dessert cool.

Step 2

Prepare a fresh shot of espresso using an espresso machine. You need about 60 ml of espresso, which is approximately one double shot.

Step 3

While the espresso is being brewed, scoop 2 generous scoops of vanilla gelato or ice cream into the chilled serving glass.

Step 4

Once the espresso is ready and hot, pour it directly over the gelato or ice cream.

Step 5

Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings on top to add an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.

Step 6

Serve immediately with a small spoon, as the hot espresso will start melting the gelato quickly.
