Affogato
Affogato is barely a recipe: hot espresso poured over cold gelato, table-side. A few drops of EVOSÌ on top isn't traditional, but its light, delicate finish is a genuinely good match for the bitterness of the shot.
Ingredients
- 4 scoops vanilla gelato
- 2 shots hot espresso
- EVOSÌ, for drizzling
- Chocolate shavings, optional
Instructions
- Scoop the vanilla gelato into two small glasses or bowls, dividing it evenly.
- Brew the espresso hot, timing it so it's ready just before serving, the contrast of hot and cold is the whole point.
- Bring the glasses to the table and pour a shot of hot espresso directly over each portion of gelato right in front of your guests.
- Immediately finish with a few drops of EVOSÌ and a scatter of chocolate shavings if using.
- Serve at once with a spoon, while the espresso is still hot and the gelato is just beginning to melt.
