Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker, brew 1 cup of espresso. Ensure that the espresso is hot and freshly brewed for the best flavor.
- 2
Scoop the Gelato
In a serving glass or bowl, place 2 generous scoops of vanilla bean gelato. The gelato should be slightly softened but still firm.
- 3
Pour the Espresso
Once the espresso is brewed, pour it directly over the scoops of gelato. The hot espresso will melt the gelato slightly, creating a delicious mix of flavors.
- 4
Serve Immediately
Serve the affogato immediately while the espresso is hot and the gelato is cold. Enjoy with a spoon!
