Instructions
-
Begin by preparing the almond-flavored base for your Caffè alla Salentina. In a mixing bowl, combine the marzipan paste with the almond milk. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
-
Once the mixture is smooth, add the Fior di latte ice cream. Continue to blend until the ice cream softens and merges completely with the almond milk and marzipan paste, forming a homogenous, smooth mixture.
-
Next, prepare your coffee. Using a stovetop espresso maker, fill the bottom chamber with cold, low-calcium water, making sure not to exceed the safety valve. Assemble the coffee maker, ensuring it is tightly sealed to avoid any coffee spillage while brewing.
-
Place the coffee maker on a low, steady flame. Allow the coffee to brew slowly. As the coffee rises, it will form a thick and dense foam, which is key to the richness of the Caffè alla Salentina.
-
Once your coffee is ready, scoop two generous balls of the almond Fior di latte ice cream and place them in four cups.
-
Pour the freshly brewed coffee over the ice cream, allowing it to melt slightly and blend with the creamy almond base.
-
Garnish with almond flakes to add a delicate crunch and additional almond flavor.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy this unique, indulgent dessert coffee. Your Caffè alla Salentina is now ready to be savored, offering a perfect balance of creamy ice cream, rich coffee, and subtle almond notes.
Enjoy the delightful fusion of warm coffee and chilled dessert in every sip!
