An Affogato combines a dessert and an espresso into one delightful treat. The preparation involves pouring a shot of freshly brewed espresso over a scoop of ice cream or gelato and serving it in a small cup or glass along with a spoon. The name, which originates from the Italian word “drowned”, accurately describes the process of drowning the ice cream in the rich and flavorful espresso. You can enjoy the Affogato by either eating it with a spoon or by stirring and waiting for the ice cream to melt before drinking the entire mixture.
