Coffee and ice cream lovers rejoice!! I made a batch of vanilla ice cream recently and couldn’t help but pair it with my other favorite vice: espresso. Affogato is one of my favorite desserts of all time. It’s so simple and delicious. It takes less than 10 minutes to prepare.

Here’s how to do it:

Ingredients:
Espresso
Vanilla ice cream (homemade is the best of course!)
Amaretto (optional)

1. Brew a shot of espresso however you like to do it. I like to use my Bialetti stove top espresso maker. If you have an espresso machine, even better.
2. Scoop out one scoop of ice cream in a small bowl
3. Pour espresso on top and serve

Amaretto is an Italian almond flavored liqueur. I prefer my affogato on the simple side, but if you want to add another dimension this is a tasty option.
