Ingredients




1 Very cold glass dish
1 scoop of Vanilla Bean Gelato (about 3- 4 oz)
1 shot of Espresso
1 spoon 
Optional- A touch of Unsweetened Whipped Heavy Cream

Preparation

1 Place your dish in the freezer for 5 minutes. 2 Place the scoop of Gelato in the chilled glass. 3 Return to the freezer for 15 minutes. 4 Minutes before the Gelato is hardened, pull a shot of espresso. 5 Let it cool while you wait until the full 15 minutes is up. (this will probably only be a couple minutes after pullin the shot) 6 If you will be serving with whipped cream, go ahead and whip up some heavy cream while you wait. 7 Remove the Gelato from the freezer and anoint it with the warm espresso. 8 Top with the whipped cream. 9 And dig in with your spoon.

About


Sweet Vanilla & Robust Coffee in perfect balance. The textures are amazing, the Gelato stays creamy smooth in the center, while the "event horizon", where Gelato meets espresso, forms this icy crust.... Decadent Deliciousness!
