Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups dark roast coffee freshly brewed
  • 1 ½ cups vanilla ice cream
  • ¼ cup chocolate shavings optional
  • 2 tbsp coffee liqueur optional, but why not?
  • 1 tbsp sugar for sweetness, optional
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Brew the coffee: Make 2 cups of strong dark roast coffee, adjusting to your preferred strength.
  • Prepare the ice cream: Soften the vanilla ice cream slightly to make it easier to scoop and layer.
  • Layer the parfaits: In your glasses, start by scooping a layer of vanilla ice cream.
  • Pour the coffee: Gently pour the hot coffee over the ice cream, allowing it to melt into the dessert.
  • Top it off: If desired, add a sprinkle of chocolate shavings and a drizzle of coffee liqueur.
  • Serve and enjoy: Immediately serve and enjoy the indulgent blend of flavors before it melts too much.
