Wabi Coffee Recipes: Affogato
What is an Affogato?
If you’ve ever found yourself torn between ordering a dessert or a coffee, Affogato is your answer. This elegant Italian treat brings together the best of both worlds: a bold shot of hot espresso poured over a scoop of creamy vanilla gelato. The word "affogato" literally means “drowned” in Italian, referring to the way the espresso gently melts the gelato, creating a luscious blend of hot and cold, bitter and sweet. It’s simple, indulgent, and effortlessly cool—perfect for summer afternoons or a stylish dessert moment.
How to Make an Affogato?
Making an affogato is as easy as it is satisfying. Start by scooping some vanilla gelato (or ice cream) into a small glass or bowl. Then brew a fresh shot of hot espresso and pour it directly over the gelato. That’s it! The magic happens as the espresso slowly melts the gelato, turning it into a creamy, coffee-infused delight. Want to level it up? Add a sprinkle of cocoa powder, crushed biscotti, or a splash of amaretto for an extra kick. Minimal effort, maximum flavor.
