Affogato Ingredients

Method

Affogato Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso

    Brew 1 cup of espresso using your preferred method. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use strong brewed coffee as a substitute.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ice Cream

    Scoop 2 cups of vanilla ice cream into serving glasses or bowls.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the hot espresso over the scoops of ice cream in each glass. The heat will melt the ice cream slightly, creating a delicious blend.

  4. 4

    Add Cocoa Nib Crisp

    Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cocoa nibs over the top of the affogato for added crunch and flavor.

  5. 5

    Sweeten to Taste

    If desired, add sugar to taste and stir gently to combine.
