Instructions
- You can use homemade or store bought vanilla ice cream.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- I don't sweeten the coffee because I never sweeten my coffee when I drink it. If you use milk chocolate then I think you really don't need it or if you do less then usual would be enough.
- Serve affogato with a spoon. I know it seems like the ice cream would melt right away, but you will be surprised that it does not! After it has melted a little, you can drink it right out of the cup, it’s so good with the chocolate on the bottom.
- You can assemble the melted chocolate and ice cream in a glass, cover, then store in the freezer until ready to serve. When serving, take extra care to pour the piping hot shot of espresso over just the ice cream so the glass doesn’t break. There are no storage instructions for this recipe as an Affogato should be consumed completely after making.
