Allergy Advice
This recipe contains Dairy Products. People with such allergies should avoid adding such ingredients or try to replace them with better choices.
Ingredients
2
100 grams Low - calorie, low - sugar vanilla ice cream
60 ml Freshly brewed espresso
20 grams Dark chocolate
15 grams Pistachios
Tips
Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
For a nut-free version, skip pistachios or use finely crushed seeds.
Brew espresso fresh for the best flavor; instant coffee won’t do justice here.
Directions
Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 15-second intervals until smooth.
Dip the rim of two serving cups into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly.
Immediately dip the chocolate-covered rim into the chopped pistachios, ensuring they stick. Place the cups in the refrigerator to set.
Brew two single shots of espresso (30 ml each) using your espresso machine or stovetop moka pot. Keep warm.
Scoop 50 g of low-sugar vanilla ice cream into each prepared cup.
Gently pour the warm espresso shot over the ice cream.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful mix of warm coffee and cool, creamy ice cream!
Notes
Individuals sensitive to caffeine or with insomnia should avoid consuming espresso late in the day.
Those with nut allergies should substitute pistachios with a safe alternative.
If lactose-intolerant, opt for dairy-free, low-calorie ice cream instead.
