Chris' comments below got me thinking, "Espresso for dessert, mmm-m." I make breves in a clear demitasse as a dessert drink. Guests love to watch what looks like a cinnamon cascade as the frothed milk separates from the espresso below. Since I pull a double into two cups, the drinks are small enough that the caffeine doesn't keep you up all night and nobody fusses about calories.

What's your favorite and how do you make it?

Two shots espresso, scoop of vanilla gelato, shaved chocolate. Works best with espressos that express a lot of chocolate and fruit or heavy caramel IMHO.

Would it be sacrilege to try it with vanilla bean ice cream instead of gelato? Also, when you say two shots, is that two singles or two doubles?
