I love simple, beautiful food that doesn't disappoint… or require a lengthy recovery period after putting it together. My take on the Italian Affogato is so easy I felt silly writing out the instructions!
Steaming espresso swirls around creamy vanilla ice-cream with a splash of Amaretto Liquor. Warning: It's likely you'll have the urge to head back to the kitchen to whip up another 🙂
Serve in a cozy mug to fit a casual occasion. In a beautiful dish they're elegant enough for a dinner party. Perfect any time of year, any time of day. Great with decaf or regular depending on your mood. If you don't have an espresso machine, simply use coffee.
Ingredients (Serves 1)
Your Favorite Vanilla Ice-Cream or Gelato (coconut Ice-Cream if you're vegan)
Freshly Brewed Espresso or Coffee (Roastaroma if you're coffee-free)
Amaretto Liquor
Method
Place a ball of ice-cream in serving dish. Pour espresso around the ice-cream. Add 1 tablespoon of Amaretto. Serve immediately and Enjoy!
Note: Always use the freshest, best quality ingredients you can. It makes a huge impact on flavor! In the case of coffee & espresso, I highly recommend a Bialetti French Press or Espresso Maker. Because they're simply made and easy to rinse after each use, neither will acquire that bitter, old-coffee-machine-taste that ruins an otherwise great cup of coffee.
The Bialetti Mocha sound whistles a little tune when the espresso is ready!
