Affogato Recipe
This Affogato is a dreamy dessert! Creamy vanilla ice cream meets bold espresso for a perfect finish to any meal.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream or vanilla gelato Choose high-quality for best flavor.
- 2 oz espresso or strong brewed coffee Freshly brewed is ideal.
Instructions
- Start by brewing your espresso or strong coffee. If using an espresso machine, pull two shots. For brewed coffee, aim for a robust flavor by using a higher coffee-to-water ratio.
- While your coffee is brewing, scoop two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream or gelato into your chosen serving glasses or mugs.
- Once your coffee is ready, pour it over the ice cream scoops immediately. The hot coffee will melt the ice cream slightly, creating a luscious blend.
- If you’d like, sprinkle your Affogato with chocolate shavings, a dash of cinnamon, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra touch of decadence.
Equipment

Notes
- Affogato is best enjoyed immediately after preparation.
- Prepare the coffee in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to a day.
