COFFEE AFFOGATO

WHEN COFFEE BECOMES DESSERT

 

Affogato al Caffè is an essential, yet always surprising recipe. Just a few ingredients are needed to transform espresso into a small summer dessert: ice cream brings freshness and creaminess, coffee adds intensity, aroma, and depth.

It’s a perfect dish for after a meal, but also for a sweet afternoon break. The contrast between hot and cold is the heart of the recipe: this is why the coffee must be freshly prepared and immediately poured over the ice cream, creating an immediate balance of textures, temperatures, and aromas.
