Affogato
Affogato, meaning “drowned” in Italian, is a sublimely simple dessert. All you have to do is pour a shot of espresso over vanilla gelato or ice cream and top it with some lightly whipped cream. Biscotti make a perfect accompaniment, or, if you’re a chocolate lover, shave some dark chocolate on top of the finished dessert. Have everyone assembled at the table ready to eat before you pour the warm espresso over the gelato.
Ingredients:
- 1 pint vanilla gelato or vanilla ice cream
- 4 shots freshly brewed espresso
- Lightly whipped cream for serving
Directions:
- Place a large scoop of gelato into each of 4 individual glasses or bowls.
- Pour 1 shot of espresso over each ice cream scoop.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream and serve immediately. Serves 4.
