Bittersweet Sicilian

Credit: Brad Thomas Parsons, Amaro

Ingredients

1/4 cup Talenti Coffee Chocolate Chip gelato
1/4 cup Talenti Salted Caramel gelato
3/4 oz Amaro Averna
1 tsp malted milk powder
whipped cream
caramel drizzle and cherry garnish


Directions

Blend the gelato, Averna, and milk powder. Squeeze a thin layer of whipped cream on top, then add a caramel drizzle and cherry.


Notes

So, not to put the entire meaning of life in a drink, but wow, this drink is GOOD. I didn’t do the caramel drizzle (even though I did have homemade caramel sauce), because, sugar, but I did add a Bordeaux cherry, a bit less sweet than a Luxardo. The Talenti coffee gelato is on the bitter side, which pairs so well with the caramel. I try to make as small a portion as possible—the recipe calls for about 3 times this much—then I split it with my husband. This way, I can have these more frequently. In theory.
