Affogato

■ Affogato is a grown-up dessert from Italy combining the sweet taste of vanilla ice cream with the bitter afternotes of espresso.

◆ How to Make ◆

1. Brew some coffee.

2. Dish up some ice cream in a container.

3. Pour warm coffee on top of the ice cream aaand done!

■ Affogato (/ɐfəɡˈɑːɾo͡ʊ/) is a word meaning "drowned" in Italian.

The vanilla ice cream is literally "drowned"!

■ Other than espresso, you can instead add black tea, liqueur, matcha or many other drinks when eating affogato.

■ You can even make something pretty tasty by using slightly-concentrated instant coffee! Drip coffee takes a while to be extracted, so if you are brewing from coffee beans, it is recommended to use dark roasts.
