Scoop the Gelato
In a serving glass or bowl, place 2 cups of vanilla gelato. Make sure to use a generous scoop to create a delightful base for the affogato.

Add Coffee Liqueur
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur over the gelato. This adds a rich flavor and complements the espresso beautifully.
