Method
Preparation Instructions
Make the Burnt Honey Gelato
In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of honey over medium heat until it turns a deep amber color. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. In a bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, and the burnt honey. Whisk until smooth, then churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze until firm.
Prepare the Espresso
Brew a shot of fresh espresso using your espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, you can brew a double shot.
Assemble the Affogato
In a serving glass or bowl, add 1 cup of burnt honey gelato. Slowly pour the hot espresso over the gelato, allowing it to melt slightly. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of amaro on top for added flavor.
