Timer: 1 min
Stir in the instant coffee until it dissolves.
Dolly’s tip: Make it strong. It should taste a little too intense on its own, because the ice cream softens it.Put a scoop of ice cream in each of 2 small glasses or bowls.
Pour the hot coffee over the ice cream and eat it right away with a spoon.
