AFFOGATO

Affogato is a simple yet indulgent Italian dessert that combines two beloved components: a scoop of creamy vanilla gelato or ice cream, and a shot of hot, freshly brewed espresso. The word “affogato” in Italian means “drowned,” and true to its name, the hot espresso is poured over the cold, velvety ice cream, creating a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures. As the espresso mingles with the ice cream, it melts slightly, forming a creamy, coffee-infused sauce. Affogato is a harmonious blend of rich, bitter coffee and sweet, creamy ice cream, offering a delightful finale to a meal or a satisfying pick-me-up.
