If you love coffee you will love this frozen treat! I made both options with DH preferring the Sorbetto option and myself preferring the Italian Ice option. While I did not dress this up as we just enjoyed it as a cool down snack can see how it could be dressed up for company. This is a keeper that will be enjoyed again. Thanks for the post.
