Ingredients
- 5 pieces gingerbread (we love Grasmere Gingerbread)
- 100ml hot espresso coffee (or other strong black coffee)
- 100ml Kahlúa or other coffee liqueur
- 8 scoops good-quality vanilla ice cream (about 400ml)
Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Put 4 pieces of the gingerbread on a baking tray and heat in the oven for 5 minutes. Chop the remaining piece into fine crumbs and put in a small bowl.
- Gently heat the coffee and Kahlúa in a small pan until piping hot, then pour into a small heatproof jug.
- Divide the ice cream and coffee liqueur among 4 bowls or elegant dessert glasses. Sprinkle with the finely chopped gingerbread, then serve immediately with the warm gingerbread on the side.
