Notes
Use chocolate ice cream. Prefer chocolate to vanilla? You can easily switch out the vanilla gelato for chocolate.Give it a stronger coffee flavor. To get even more of that coffee flavor, try it with coffee-flavored ice cream.Make it boozy. I suggest using a shot of liquor like amaretto or Frangelico for the best flavor.
