Ingredients

• 70 g · vanilla ice cream
• 40 ml · fresh espresso

Preparation

1. Pull your espresso

   Use freshly ground coffee. For a double espresso, start with 18 g in and 36–40 g out in about 25–30 seconds. Adjust the grind to taste. Measure 40 ml for this drink.

2. A scoop of happiness

   Place 70 g of vanilla ice cream in a chilled small bowl or glass. Prepare the toppings before pouring the coffee.

3. The beautiful pour

   Pour the freshly made espresso directly over the ice cream. Serve immediately with a spoon, before the hot and cold layers melt together.

4. Take a little moment

   Taste before adding any extra sweetness. Enjoy while the texture and aroma are at their best.

Tip

Chill the serving glass first and prepare the espresso last. The contrast between hot coffee and cold ice cream is the point.
