Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Espresso

Brew 1 shot of fresh espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Ensure the espresso is hot and freshly brewed for the best flavor.

2

Scoop the Ice Cream

In a serving glass or bowl, place 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream. Make sure the ice cream is slightly softened for easier scooping.

3

Combine Espresso and Ice Cream

Pour the hot espresso over the scoops of ice cream. Allow the espresso to melt the ice cream slightly, creating a creamy coffee mixture.

4

Add Toppings

If desired, sprinkle chocolate shavings or ground cinnamon over the top of the affogato for added flavor and presentation.
