Gelato

Espresso

Method

Prepare the Gelato

  1. 1

    Scoop the Gelato

    Using an ice cream scoop, place 2 scoops of gelato into a serving glass or bowl. Choose a flavor that pairs well with coffee, such as vanilla or hazelnut.

Brew the Espresso

  1. 2

    Prepare Espresso

    In an espresso machine or stovetop moka pot, combine 2 tablespoons of espresso coffee grounds with 60 ml of water. Brew until you have 60 ml of fresh espresso.

Assemble the Affogato

  1. 3

    Pour the Espresso

    Once the espresso is ready, pour it directly over the gelato in the serving glass or bowl. The hot espresso will melt the gelato slightly, creating a delicious combination.
