Ice Cream

Espresso

Garnish (optional)

Method

Preparation of Ice Cream

  1. 1

    Scoop the Ice Cream

    Using an ice cream scoop, place 2 generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into a dessert bowl or glass.

Brewing Espresso

  1. 2

    Brew the Espresso

    Brew 1 cup of fresh espresso coffee using an espresso machine. If you prefer, you can add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the espresso while brewing to sweeten it slightly.

Assembling the Affogato

  1. 3

    Pour the Espresso

    Once the espresso is brewed, carefully pour it over the scoops of ice cream in the dessert bowl/glass. The hot espresso will melt the ice cream slightly.

Garnishing (optional)

  1. 4

    Add Garnishes

    If desired, sprinkle chocolate shavings over the top and place a few coffee beans for a decorative touch.
