Evening Affogato For A Hot Summers Day
What is an affogato? An affogato is traditionally a coffee-based Italian dessert consisting of a scoop or two of vanilla gelato topped with a shot of espresso.
We used instant decaf as a friendly after-dinner alternative. If you have an espresso machine - go for it! You can really make it your own and experiment with toppings! We love using nuts, cacao nibs & coconut. Find even more flavours of these incredible, small-batch gelatos at our locations!
Ingredients:
- A Batch of Organic Instant Coffee or Shot of Espresso (We used Mount Hagen)
- Feel free to use decaf or a coffee substitute like Chicory Root!
- 2 Scoops of gelato or ice cream (We used Righteous, but have lots of dairy and non-dairy ice creams at Jo Anne's)
- Affogato is traditionally made with vanilla ice cream, but feel free to get creative!
- Preferred toppings such as chocolate sauce, cacao nibs, nuts, or coconut flakes
Directions:
- Brew your espresso or mix up your instant coffee.
- Scoop the gelato into a small glass.
- Pour the espresso over the gelato.
- Add preferred toppings and serve immediately.
Enjoy!
