Method

  1. Divide the scoops of ice cream between two glasses. Put in the freezer while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
  2. Put the pistachio nuts in a dry frying pan. Place over a medium heat, tossing occasionally, for 1-2 mins until toasted.
  3. Prepare the espresso or strong coffee (see Cook’s Tip).
  4. Take the prepared ice cream from the freezer and, working quickly, drizzle over the espresso martini followed by the hot espresso/strong coffee, then scatter over the pistachios and dark chocolate. Serve immediately.

Tip: Use strong filter coffee, classic espresso or 1 tsp instant espresso dissolved in 40ml just-boiled water.
