Affogato

INGREDIENTS:

Basics

Evergood Dark Roast coffee

Vanilla (or chocolate) ice cream

Extras

Chantilly

Chocolate

Nuts

Salt

Biscotti

PREPARATION:

Ice cream always tastes great – regardless of the weather! Ice cream and coffee always make the perfect match, and directly mixing the two inevitably produces an irresistible drink – or dessert – depending on who you ask. Like many other great culinary creations, the Affogato originally comes from Italy. Somewhat dramatically, Affogato means “drowned”; and that is actually what you do with the ice cream in this drink – or dessert.

• Brew a steamingly fresh and spoon-meltingly strong coffee – Evergood Dark Roast is perfect for this purpose.

• Place a suitable amount of vanilla ice cream in a serving dish.

• Drown the ice cream in a flood of hot coffee.

• Purists insist that this is how a true Affogato should be served. But if you dare, you can add a layer of Chantilly as an extra finish, and then sprinkle your creation with grated chocolate or nuts (you can even add a pinch of salt …). And if you are a real trail-blazer, you can use chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla!

• For obvious reasons, you need to serve the dessert – or drink – immediately. Ideally with a biscotti or two.
