Description

A classic Italian dessert that combines creamy vanilla ice cream with hot, freshly brewed espresso, creating a delightful contrast of temperatures and flavors. Perfect Affogato is quick to make and offers a rich, indulgent treat in just minutes.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 large scoop vanilla ice cream
  • 2 ounces (about 2 shots) freshly brewed espresso


Instructions

  1. Add ice cream: Place a large scoop of vanilla ice cream into a shorter glass or dessert bowl, creating the base of your affogato.
  2. Add espresso: Brew about 2 ounces of fresh espresso and immediately pour the hot espresso over the ice cream. Serve right away and enjoy as the ice cream melts and swirls with the espresso.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor and aroma.
  • Serve immediately after adding espresso to enjoy the contrast of hot and cold.
  • For a twist, add a splash of coffee liqueur or sprinkle some cocoa powder on top.
  • Use high-quality vanilla ice cream for a richer taste.
