Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso

    Start by brewing 1 cup of fresh espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop Moka pot, etc.). Ensure the espresso is hot and freshly brewed for the best flavor.

  2. 2

    Scoop the Ice Cream

    In a serving glass or bowl, place 2 cups of vanilla ice cream. You can use an ice cream scoop for neat servings.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Affogato

    Pour the freshly brewed espresso over the scoops of vanilla ice cream, ensuring that the hot espresso begins to melt the ice cream, creating a delightful contrast of temperatures.

  4. 4

    Add Optional Toppings

    If desired, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chocolate shavings on top of the affogato and add 1 tablespoon of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
