Ingredients (for 2-3 servings):

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

4 tablespoons of cold water (preferably from the refrigerator)

> Note:

The doses can easily be doubled or tripled while maintaining the 1:1:2 ratio (coffee: sugar: water).

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Prepare the ingredients:

Pour the instant coffee, sugar and cold water into a large bowl.

I recommend using a bowl with high edges to avoid splashes while whisking.

2. Whip the mixture:

Using an electric whisk (or a stand mixer, if you prefer), begin whipping the mixture at medium-high speed.

After about 3-5 minutes, you will see that the mixture will transform into a frothy, dense and stable cream, with a light hazelnut color.

The consistency should be similar to that of whipped cream.

3. Serve your spumone:

Distribute the resulting cream into small glasses or cups, using a spoon or a piping bag for a more elegant result.

4. Decorate as desired:

For a delicious touch, you can add:

a pinch of bitter cocoa powder

dark chocolate chips

chopped hazelnuts or almonds

or some crunchy biscuits on the edge

5. Serve immediately or store:

You can enjoy the spumone immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour: it will become even fresher and more compact, perfect as a summer dessert.

Ideas for serving Coffee Spumone:

Pour it over a glass of cold milk for a “frozen cappuccino” effect.

Use it to decorate a vanilla or fiordilatte ice cream cup.

Try it as a filling for desserts, or on cake slices or brownies.

Also excellent with a drop of coffee liqueur for an “adult” dessert.

Helpful tips:

The water must be very cold: it is best to keep it in the refrigerator for a few hours before using.

Instant coffee is essential for the frothing: do not substitute it with espresso or moka pot, which do not work in this recipe.

Use clean, dry whisks to achieve perfect whipping.

If you want a less sweet version, you can slightly reduce the sugar, but be careful: it also affects the consistency of the foam.

Conservation:

You can store the spumone in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, in an airtight container.

Before serving, stir it gently with a spoon to revive its consistency.
