Optional Garnish & Service

2 pieces Whole coffee bean(s)1 piece Small mint leaf1 piece Demitasse or coupe glass

Method

Amaro Affogato

Prepare glass and gelato

Chill a demitasse or small coupe glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. Place two scoops (about 2 standard scoops) of vanilla gelato into the chilled glass.

Warm espresso

Pull a 30 ml shot of strong espresso and keep it hot. If you don't have an espresso machine, brew 30 ml very strong coffee.

Pour Amaro and espresso

Pour 60 ml of Nonino Amaro evenly over the gelato so it begins to melt. Immediately pour the 30 ml hot espresso over the gelato and amaro — the hot espresso will melt the gelato slightly and create a creamy, bittersweet pool.

Finish with toppings

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of dark chocolate shavings and 1 teaspoon of toasted chopped almonds over the top. Grate or twist 1 teaspoon of orange zest over the affogato to lift the flavor and add a bright citrus aroma.

Optional Garnish & Service

Garnish with 2 whole coffee beans and a small mint leaf for contrast if desired. Serve immediately while the espresso is hot and the gelato is beginning to melt. Provide a small spoon.
