Method
Prepare the Espresso
Brew the Espresso
Brew 2 cups of strong espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop Moka pot, etc.). Once brewed, set aside to cool slightly.
Make the Amaro Drizzle
Combine Ingredients
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the Amaro liqueur, honey, and orange zest. Stir gently until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is warmed, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble the Affogato
Scoop the Ice Cream
In serving glasses or bowls, place 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream at the bottom of each.
Drizzle the Amaro
Drizzle the warm Amaro mixture over the top of the espresso and ice cream in each serving.
Garnish and Serve
Add Garnishes
Top each affogato with chocolate shavings and a few fresh mint leaves for added flavor and presentation.
Serve Immediately
Serve the Nona Affogato with Amaro immediately while the ice cream is still cold and the espresso is warm.
