Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 120 ml Espresso or strongly brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cocoa powder or grated chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew 120 ml of strong espresso or coffee. If you do not have an espresso machine, a French press or stovetop coffee maker will work fine.
Pour the brewed coffee into a small saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the coffee and stir until completely dissolved.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens. Do not let it boil.
Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove it from heat and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Scoop 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream into each serving bowl or glass.
Drizzle the warm espresso sauce generously over the ice cream.
For an optional garnish, sprinkle a small amount of cocoa powder or grated chocolate on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy, cold ice cream and rich, warm espresso sauce.
