Crema di Caffè

Crema di Caffè. Served in a small cup, not much larger than an espresso cup. It's almost like a soft ice cream, and each coffee bar makes its own.

This one, in Sacrofano north of Rome, was delightful. A blend of espresso, milk, cream and sugar freshly made and constantly churning to maintain its delicious consistency. It's one of Italy's best mini summer treats. It gives you your coffee kick, a cooling-off treat to beat the heat and an unparalleled flavor combination.

Top it with whipped cream if you are really "goloso," or enjoy it just as is. Anyway you choose, there's simply nothing quite like it!
