Affogato Recipe
Description
The Affogato Recipe combines scoops of vanilla or hazelnut ice cream with freshly brewed hot espresso poured directly over them. The hot espresso quickly softens the ice cream, resulting in a creamy, melting dessert with a lively coffee flavor. Adding Irish cream or nutty liqueurs like Bailey's or Frangelico offers a gentle boozy undertone that complements the sweetness and coffee richness. The preparation requires minimal steps: making espresso, scooping ice cream, and serving immediately to enjoy the contrasting temperatures and flavors.
The straightforward assembly and quality of basic ingredients highlight each component: smooth ice cream and robust espresso. This recipe can also be served in bowls or cups, depending on preference and presentation.
Ingredients
- 4 coops vanilla ice cream or hazelnut
- 2 hots espresso
- ½ ounce Irish cream liquor such as Bailey's, or Frangelico, optional
Instructions

- Place a scoop of ice cream in each bowl. Pour espresso over ice cream. Add Bailey's or Frangelico if using.

Notes
- For an alcoholic version, add one shot of Irish cream, Kahlua, or Frangelico to the espresso before pouring it over the ice cream.
