ghettoccino time
welcome to a slice of my past, a tasty treat concocted by my dad – coffee and vanilla ice cream -affectionately dubbed the ghettoccino by evan. the recipe is as follows;
• take freshly brewed columbian coffee and pour into appropriate mug – size can vary.
• then take a dollop of vanilla ice cream (we recommend breyer’s french vanilla – other flavours can be used for variety, but the original is always the best) and slowly submerge into hot coffee allowing escaping air to froth up.
• sit back, put your feet up and enjoy.

Awesome idea! My old buddy Kate loves Vanilla in Orange Soda… And I can’t blame her, it’s great!

Just had my first Ghettochino. Swiftly followed by a second. Now on my third with a side of custard donuts.
There goes my health kick – thanks a bunch, Ramon

Yeah, laugh it up… you’re not the one who’s going to end up looking like Jabba the Hutt. Curse my poor European genes!

I’ve always loved a scoop of chocolate ice cream in my coffee. Then I moved to the city, with a Starbucks on every corner and I haven’t indulged in a while.

Here in Pennsylvania we call that a “Shaggy Coffee” for some reason. It’s the perfect cure for a hangover.

This is the best way to drink the coffee at the bottom of the pot that’s starting to burn a little. Mmm…

Breyer’s is good because they use good ingredients and have less overrun. (Overrun is the amount of air incorporated into ice cream; the FDA’s legal maximum amount allowed is 100%. Don’t ask me what that means, I’m not quite sure.)
I HELPED YOU ALL LEARN SOMETHING. I hope.
