Classic Italian affogato recipe

rate this recipe Thanks for rating!

Ready in 10 minutes

200ml made-up hot strong espresso coffee
4 scoops good-quality vanilla ice cream
Plain chocolate (optional)


1. Make the espresso coffee, which will be enough for 4 little after-dinner coffee cups.
2. Put the ice cream into 4 dessert glasses or cups. Drown (the literal meaning of affogato) each with coffee and serve while warm and melting. For an added treat, you could melt a few pieces of plain chocolate in the hot coffee before pouring over the ice cream.

Chef's tip
Baileys Ice Cream is also delicious, even though it’s not the real Italian job.
