Affogato. The ice cream drowns in the coffee; the tary does not. Tary is roasted millet, and in the cup it stays on top.

Ingredients

60 g plombirRich cream ice cream; choose a plain one, without added flavourings.
30 ml espressoShort, strong black coffee, brewed hot just before serving.
10 g taryRoasted millet; use ready-made tary from a shop, not raw millet grains.

Method

Brew the espresso. Strong coffee from a cezve or a moka pot will also do; if any grounds are left in it, strain it through a paper filter.
Put the plombir in the bottom of a cup or a low glass as one scoop, and press a hollow into the middle with a spoon.
Pour the hot espresso into the hollow.
Scatter ready-made roasted tary over the top and serve at once with a spoon. The tary goes on last, so the grain has no time to go soft in the coffee.
