Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chilled Horchata (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 scoops Cinnamon Ice Cream
- 2 shots freshly brewed Espresso (hot)
- Pinch of ground Cinnamon, for garnish
Instructions
- Chill your serving glass or mug thoroughly.
- Pour the chilled Horchata into the bottom of the prepared glass.
- Gently place one scoop of Cinnamon Ice Cream on top of the Horchata. Place the second scoop beside it or on top, depending on your glass size.
- Brew two shots of hot espresso.
- Slowly pour the hot espresso directly over the ice cream scoops. The espresso will melt the ice cream, mixing with the Horchata below.
- Garnish immediately with a light pinch of ground cinnamon.
- Serve and enjoy right away.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use high-quality, strong espresso.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a small amount of simple syrup to the Horchata before pouring.
- You can make your own Horchata ahead of time for a deeper flavor profile.
- The contrast between the hot espresso and cold ice cream is key to this dessert.
