Gelato
Espresso
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Espresso
Brew 1 cup of fresh espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop Moka pot. Make sure it's strong and hot for the best flavor.

Scoop the Gelato
In a serving glass or bowl, add 2 cups of vanilla gelato. You can use a large scoop or a spoon to create a generous mound.
- 3
Combine Espresso and Gelato
Pour the hot espresso directly over the vanilla gelato. The heat from the espresso will melt the gelato slightly, creating a creamy, delicious mixture.

Serve Immediately
Serve the affogato immediately with a spoon. Optionally, you can garnish with chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for added flavor.
