Ingredients
1/2 cup Talenti Mint Chocolate Chip gelato
3/4 oz Branca Menta
whipped cream
chocolate shavings and fresh mint garnish
Directions
Blend the gelato and Branca Menta together and pour into a glass. Squeeze a thin layer of whipped cream on top, then add chocolate shavings and a mint sprig.
Notes
Mint chocolate chip ice cream was always my favorite as a kid—along with peppermint stick, which for whatever reason is much easier to find on the East coast. So this drink might be my favorite dessert drink. The Branca Menta adds a bitter edge to cut the sweetness of the gelato, without making it boozy. I shared this with my husband but next time I’m doubling the amount all for myself.
