Espresso Tiramisu Picks You Up

Espresso was born in Italy. When I prepare a drink, I like to feel as if I have been transported to a European café. Here is an easy recipe to serve after dinner or for an afternoon delight while sitting on your patio. “Tiramisu” means pick me up in Italian. What better name for an espresso drink that will help pick you up through the rest of the day.

Ingredients

• Finely ground coffee
• Ice cream, such as Vanilla or Chocolate
• Ground cinnamon, for dusting
• Sugar cookie, for garnish and dipping

Add a scoop of ice cream to an espresso cup. Prepare your espresso in a Nespresso machine. Pour the espresso over ice cream. Sprinkle a little cinnamon and place a small sugar cookie on the side.

In addition, Nespresso will be live tweeting tomorrow night along with myself. The official hashtag is #CoffeeConvo. I would love for you to join our conversation during the event, especially if you are looking for a new coffee maker or recipes to “pick you up.”
