Chef's Notes
Notes: So that the espresso would prettily coat the ice cream for the photo, Valerie Aikman-Smith cooled it to room temperature before pouring it over the rock-hard ice cream. Serve it that way, if you like, or the traditional Italian way--hot, which turns the ice cream into an instant float. You'll need 8 shot glasses for this recipe.
