Method
Preparation
Prepare the espresso
Brew 1 cup of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop, or French press). If desired, add 1 tablespoon of sugar to taste and stir until dissolved.
Scoop the gelato
In a serving glass or bowl, add 2 cups of vanilla gelato. Use a scoop to create rounded portions of gelato for a beautiful presentation.
Assemble the affogato
Pour the hot espresso over the scoops of gelato. Ensure that each scoop is generously covered with espresso.
Serve immediately
Serve the affogato right away, allowing the hot espresso to melt the gelato slightly, creating a deliciously creamy dessert.
