Affogato

An affogato is a simple Italian dessert that combines two classic flavors: espresso and ice cream. It consists of a scoop of high-quality vanilla gelato or ice cream topped with a shot of hot espresso. The hot coffee slightly melts the ice cream, creating a rich, creamy texture with a bold coffee flavor. It’s both refreshing and indulgent, often served as a dessert or a special treat. The contrast between the cold ice cream and hot espresso makes affogato uniquely satisfying and easy to prepare, highlighting the harmony of coffee’s bitterness and the sweetness of ice cream.
