Instructions
- Scoop the gelato to a small bowl. Pour over the hot espresso. Top with any desired add-ins. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Flavor Combinations:
- Yes, regular ice cream will work but gelato is traditional! One thing about gelato is that it is creamier and denser than ice cream. It works really well with the hot espresso.
- What makes affogato so amazing is the combination of hot espresso with the cold gelato. Of course, you can do what you like but just keep in mind that chilled espresso is very bitter – it just won’t be the same.
- If you don’t have a way to make espresso, you can substitute very strong brewed coffee. I recommend using a good quality coffee that is dark and robust and brew it stronger than you would for a regular cup of coffee.
- It’s a little of both! Technically, it’s a dessert – sort of like a milkshake since you can sip on it as the ice cream melts but also eat it with a spoon.
- I like to serve it in mugs. Since the espresso melts the gelato, serving it in a mug or narrow, small bowl will keep it from getting to soupy.
