Ingredients to make affogato coffee:
- 4 cups of espresso coffee
- 1 jar of vanilla ice cream or cream
- 1 glass of liquor
- 1 handful of nuts, crackers or cocoa
How to make Affogato Coffee:
- Prepare all the ingredients, you have to do it quickly to take advantage of the temperature contrast. The coffee has to be freshly brewed so that it is piping hot and the ice cream is piping cold.
- With the help of an ice cream scooper, make balls and put them on a tray or in the glasses. Prepare 2 for each dessert. Put them in the freezer so they are well frozen.
- A while before preparing the recipe, also put the glasses where you are going to prepare the affogato in the freezer so that they are very cold.
- Prepare the espresso coffee, you can use another type, but make it strong. Make as many coffees as desserts you are going to prepare. In our case we have made 4 coffees.
- If you have an espresso machine, it will come in handy because that way the amount of coffee you need will come out (about 50 ml). You can also make a long coffee, it’s up to your taste.
- Take out the 4 glasses or cups where you are going to put the dessert. Place one or two scoops of ice cream in the bottom. Chop the nuts, we put walnuts.
- Once the balls are in each glass or cup, pour the espresso coffee on top of the ice cream.
- Add the nuts you like and add a splash of liquor if you like. Ready to drink!
