Ingredients
- 8 scoops fior di latte or vanilla gelato
- 4 fresh espresso shots
- Amaretti biscuits
- Amaro or grappa, optional
Instructions
- 01
Chill the glasses. Freeze small glasses for 15 minutes so the gelato doesn't vanish on contact.
- 02
Scoop. Two scoops per glass, packed tight.
- 03
Pull the espresso. Brew fresh and pour it over at the table.
- 04
Serve now. Add a crumbled amaretto and hand it over immediately.
Larry’s rule: Espresso must be fresh and hot. Reheated coffee turns the whole thing bitter and grey.
