Affogato: Dessert and Coffee in One Irresistible Cup
Looking for a drink that’s as playful as it is indulgent? The Affogato is a decadent fusion of dessert and coffee that transforms your espresso moment into a full-on treat. With creamy vanilla ice cream, crunchy caramel biscuits, and a bold shot of espresso, it’s a party for your palate—served in a cup.
Ingredients
You’ll need:
-
Caramel biscuits – 2 pieces
-
Vanilla ice cream ball – 1 scoop
-
Mini cone – 1 piece
-
Espresso – 36g
-
Coffee beans – 18g
How to Make Affogato
Step 1: Build the Dessert Base
Crush one caramel biscuit and place it in a cup. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and gently press in a mini cone. Top it all with the second whole biscuit for added crunch.
Step 2: Prepare the Espresso
Using a double cup portafilter, grind 18g of coffee beans and tamp evenly.
Step 3: Pour the Magic
Extract 36g of espresso using your espresso machine and pour it over the dessert layers. The heat of the coffee melts the ice cream just enough to create a silky, caramel-infused blend.
