Affogato, meaning ‘drowned’, perfectly describes the act of pouring a strong shot of hot espresso over a scoop of ice cream. Whether it’s fior di latte, vanilla, chocolate, or any flavor you prefer, the magic happens as the heat slowly melts the cold. First, you savor it with a spoon, then enjoy the last rich drops straight from the glass. The sweet creaminess of the ice cream and the bold bitterness of the coffee should balance each other beautifully.
