Affogato is an Italian coffee dessert. As most of us are outside of Italy, this is most commonly considered as a beverage. Strictly speaking, an Italian Affogato consists of a single ristretto shot – a concentrated variant of the espresso, with a common water to coffee ratio of 1:1 – and a silky smooth gelato.
Surely, outside of Italy, one can be forgiven for not using the strict recipe from its birthplace. You utilize what you’ve got. We strongly advise you to use good vanilla ice cream or gelato that you love having it on its own. Couple that with your favorite coffee grounds, and what you’ll get is a delightful dessert. So, why not give it a try this recipe a try!
