Affogato

DessertEasy

A scoop of vanilla ice cream drowned in hot espresso, the simplest dessert there is.

Ingredients

2 servings

  • 2 scoops good vanilla ice cream
  • 2 shots hot espresso (or 1/3 cup very strong coffee)
  • Shaved dark chocolate
  • 2 small amaretti cookies or biscotti (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chill two small glasses or cups in the freezer for 10 minutes

  2. Brew the espresso just before serving

  3. Place a scoop of ice cream in each glass

  4. Pour the hot espresso over the ice cream at the table

  5. Top with chocolate and eat at once with small spoons

Tips

  • Use decaf espresso if you would like to sleep later
  • Contains milk; a dairy-free vanilla ice cream makes it vegan
  • Amaretti usually contain almonds, so skip them if nuts are a concern

Check for allergies and intolerances before you start, and swap ingredients as needed.
