Perfect Affogato
Affogato is the perfect Italian dessert for dinner parties! The chilled, creamy ice cream with hot, bitter espresso is a divine combination your guests will love.
Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
- Breville Espresso Machine I'm loving this home espresso machine so far!
- Moka Pot A great option for a stovetop method to make espresso.
- AeroPress Another quick way to make espresso.
Ingredients
- 1 large scoop vanilla ice cream
- 2 ounces (about 2 shots) freshly brewed espresso
Instructions
- Add ice cream. Place the ice cream in a shorter glass or dessert bowl.
- Add espresso. Pour the hot espresso over the ice cream and dig in with a spoon immediately! The ice cream will melt and swirl with the espresso.
Notes
- If you don't have an espresso machine, don't worry! You can also use a Moka espresso maker or AeroPress to brew espresso. Instant espresso powder or strongly brewed coffee can work well as a substitute.
