An affogato is a delightful Italian dessert that combines the robust flavors of espresso with the creamy richness of gelato. Traditionally, it starts with a scoop of velvety vanilla gelato--but you're welcome to choose any flavor we have on offer!--nestled in a small bowl or glass. Just before serving, a shot of hot, freshly brewed espresso is poured over the gelato, instantly creating a harmonious blend of temperatures and textures. The hot espresso melts the gelato slightly, creating a luscious, semi-frozen treat with swirls of coffee-infused cream. The result is an indulgent, yet simple dessert, where the bold, aromatic notes of the espresso beautifully complement the sweet, smooth gelato, offering a perfect balance of bittersweet flavors.
