Affogato
(Affogato al Caffè )
The authentic affogato combines two Italian classics: a shot of freshly brewed espresso and a scoop of vanilla or fior di latte gelato. Affogato translates as drowned, referring to the preparation process in which steaming espresso is generously poured over a scoop of gelato.
The popularity of affogato has resulted in numerous variations that may include anything from fortified wines, different gelato flavors, or the addition of almonds and crumbled biscotti. Whether served in cups or dessert glasses, affogato can be slowly sipped or eaten with a spoon, and is best enjoyed after a big meal.
