Skill required: Been there; done that
2 cups hot freshly brewed espresso
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon finely ground espresso beans

2. Put espresso and sugar into a medium glass bowl.
3. Stir until sugar has dissolved.
4. Set in ice-water bath; stir until cooled.
5. Transfer mixture to a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish; place in freezer.
