Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso

    Brew a shot of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop Moka pot, etc.). Make sure the espresso is hot and freshly brewed.

  2. 2

    Scoop Ice Cream

    While the espresso is brewing, take a serving glass or bowl and add two scoops of vanilla ice cream to it.

  3. 3

    Combine

    Once the espresso is ready, pour it directly over the scoops of vanilla ice cream in the serving glass or bowl.

  4. 4

    Serve Immediately

    Enjoy your affogato right away. The hot espresso will melt the ice cream slightly, creating a delicious mix of flavors and textures.
