Ingredients

Affogato Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Brew the espresso: Use an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker to brew 2 ounces (about 2 shots) of fresh espresso. Make sure it is hot and freshly made for the best flavor.
  2. Scoop the ice cream: Place one large scoop of vanilla ice cream into a serving glass or cup immediately before serving.
  3. Pour espresso over ice cream: Pour the hot espresso slowly over the vanilla ice cream to create a delightful contrast of temperatures and flavors.
  4. Serve immediately: Serve the affogato right away to enjoy the melting combination of ice cream and coffee.

Notes

  • Use high-quality vanilla ice cream for the best taste and creaminess.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use a double shot of espresso.
  • Optionally, top with shaved chocolate, cocoa powder, or a splash of liqueur such as amaretto or coffee liqueur for a twist.
  • Serve in a wide-mouthed glass to enjoy the aroma of the espresso and ease of scooping.
