This is the perfect little sweet treat – vanilla ice cream drowned in espresso coffee and topped with toasted, crushed hazelnuts. Add a shot of liqueur if you fancy. Bellissimo!
Serves 8
Ingredients
½ cup hazelnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
2 cups very strong espresso coffee

Method
Scoop vanilla ice cream into small, pre-chilled glasses or cups.
