STEP 1
The dough
To prepare the gingerbread dough, place the plain flour, almond flour, rye flour, baking soda and cubed butter into a food processor. Blend until you obtain a mixture with a sandlike texture. In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey and sugar until the sugar dissolves, then set aside. Transfer the flour and butter mixture into a bowl and add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, spices and the melted honey and sugar mixture. Mix until you obtain a smooth dough. Shape into a compact rectangle, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least three hours.
STEP 2
Biscuits
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about 5 mm. Cut out biscuits using cookie cutters and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for 10–12 minutes.
STEP 3
Coffee cream
To prepare the coffee cream, place the instant coffee, sugar, cinnamon and boiling water in a bowl. Whisk with an electric mixer for a few minutes until the mixture becomes thick and stable.
STEP 4
Assemble
Assemble the ingredients in bowls or glasses, starting with a generous portion of coffee cream. Add a scoop or two of Barattolino Nocciola gelato and top with a gingerbread man biscuit.
