Affogato

Method

Affogato

  1. 1

    Prepare Espresso

    Brew 2 shots of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop, etc.). Set aside to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Assemble Affogato

    In a serving glass, add 1 cup of vanilla ice cream. Pour the hot espresso over the ice cream so it melts slightly, creating a delicious mix of hot and cold.

Choc Chip Shortbread

  1. 3

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 4

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. 5

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of cornstarch, and 1 tsp of salt. Mix well.

  4. 6

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until just combined. Stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1 cup of chocolate chips.

  5. 7

    Shape Shortbread

    Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork.

  6. 8

    Bake

    Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
