Classic Affogato
This classic affogato recipe pairs hot espresso with creamy vanilla ice cream for an easy Italian dessert that is elegant, quick, and irresistible.
Servings: 1 person
Ingredients
- 2 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream (Tillamook is my favorite)
- 1 ounce hot espresso
- Flaky sea salt optional but encouraged
- Chocolate shavings or finely chopped chocolate optional but encouraged
- Crushed amaretti cookies optional but encouraged
Instructions
- Scoop the vanilla ice cream into a chilled serving glass or bowl.
- Brew a fresh shot of espresso.
- Pour the hot espresso directly over the ice cream. Finish with flaky sea salt, chocolate shavings, or crushed amaretti cookies if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Chill your serving glasses or bowls so the ice cream melts just enough, but not too fast
- Brew the espresso right before serving so it is piping hot
- A tiny pinch of flaky sea salt makes the flavors pop
- Serve immediately, affogato waits for no one
