The simplest dessert there is, made a little more exciting with cardamom. Hot, bitter coffee melts the cold, sweet ice cream as you pour.
Ingredients
- 8 scoops of good vanilla ice cream
- 4 shots of hot espresso (about 30 ml each)
- 4 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
- 2 tbsp roughly chopped pistachios
- A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
Method
- Put the crushed cardamom pods into the coffee grounds before brewing, or steep them in the hot espresso for 2 minutes and strain.
- Place two scoops of ice cream in each of four small glasses or bowls.
- Pour a shot of hot cardamom espresso over each portion at the table.
- Sprinkle with pistachios and a little cinnamon, and serve straight away with a spoon.
