Step 1
Place two tall glasses or coffee cups in the freezer for at least 2 minutes so they chill and the ice cream melts more slowly when hot espresso hits it.
Step 2
Brew two shots of espresso in an espresso machine, or heat 4 ounces of strongly brewed hot coffee until it steams.
Step 3
Scoop two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into each chilled glass, placing the scoops so they sit near the top of the glass.
Step 4
Pour the hot espresso slowly over the ice cream in each glass, starting from a slight height so the coffee cascades and begins melting the ice cream immediately.
Step 5
Serve immediately with a long spoon or small gelato spoon, so the drinker can scoop cold ice cream and sip hot coffee together.
