Affogato

There's a cafe around the corner from my flat that I pass on the bus every day but have never been into before. This weekend, that all changed. It was nice and sunny out and I'm always looking for iced coffee so I wandered in and everyone was so friendly! I asked them if they had any cold coffee drinks and I swear, I thought they were going to break out into a coordinated dance routine.

Apparently one of the baristas was just dying to make an affogato. How has this not become everyone's favorite coffee drink?? IT'S ICE CREAM!!! And espresso but ICE CREAM!! How do you take your coffee? As ice cream. Game changer.

 
This is probably the most ridiculous recipe because guess what? All you do is pour a shot of espresso over a scoop of ice cream and it's officially a coffee beverage. Done. Sold. I may or may not have had some before writing this post.

Recipe
  • 1 scoop of ice cream (traditionally vanilla, also tasty with salted caramel or chocolate)
  • 1 shot of espresso (or two, you are your own person)
  1. Make shot(s) of espresso.
  2. Place scoop of ice cream in a mug, bowl or other vessel.
  3. Pour shot(s) of espresso over ice cream.
  4. Consume and be happy that you're a grown up having ice cream for coffee.
