Affogato is an Italian dessert that involves ice cream doused in espresso. The word “affogato” means “drowned” in Italian -- and it’s easy to see where the name came from! This is a dessert you’ll want to eat quickly since the espresso rapidly drowns the ice cream.
Whipped creamespresso powder, or other garnishes (optional)
Instructions
Grind your coffee beans and pull a shot or two of espresso. If you don’t have an espresso maker (we're using the handy Wacaco Minipresso), you can substitute a Moka pot or any coffee brewing method.
Scoop ice cream into a bowl or glass. You can use any flavor of ice cream -- just make sure it will taste good with coffee! We recommend French vanilla, caramel, chocolate, and cherry. But it’s completely up to you.
Carefully pour the espresso or strong coffee over the ice cream. Now all you need to do is enjoy your delicious coffee dessert!
