Gelato

Espresso

Method

Preparation

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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. 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.

  4. 4

    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.
