Easy Affogato Recipe

Affogato is an Italian dessert that involves ice cream doused in espresso. The
word “affogato” means “drowned” in Italian -- and it’s easy to see where the
name came from! This is a dessert you’ll want to eat quickly since the espresso
rapidly drowns the ice cream.

🧂 Ingredients

2 scoops ice cream
1 ounce fresh coffee beans
2 ounces filtered water
Whipped cream

espresso powder, or other garnishes (optional)

Instructions

1 Grind your coffee beans and pull a shot or two of espresso. If you don’t have an
espresso maker (we're using the handy Wacaco Minipresso), you can substitute a
Moka pot or any coffee brewing method.
2 Scoop ice cream into a bowl or glass. You can use any flavor of ice cream --
just make sure it will taste good with coffee! We recommend French vanilla,
caramel, chocolate, and cherry. But it’s completely up to you.
3 Carefully pour the espresso or strong coffee over the ice cream. Now all you
need to do is enjoy your delicious coffee dessert!
