AFFOGATO
Crafting the perfect affogato is more than meets the eye. In fact, there's more science to the dessert than most would care to acknowledge. Using gelato boosts the incredible flavor, and gives a velvety, silky smoothness ice cream just doesn't have. This is because gelato has a lower fat content, less air, and is served at a different temperature than ice cream. Translation: if you use ice cream you'll end up with something less than perfect as the hot espresso will cause the ice cream to melt faster.

AFFOGATO
Steps:
- Place 2 small scoops of ice cream (coffee, chocolate or vanilla) in a coffee cup, then pour in a shot of espresso or 3 tablespoons strong brewed coffee. Top with shaved dark chocolate and chopped hazelnuts.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality coffee and ice cream. The better the ingredients, the better the affogato will be. Use freshly brewed espresso or cold brew coffee, and choose a flavorful ice cream that complements the coffee.
- Use the right amount of coffee and ice cream. The classic affogato ratio is 1:1, but you can adjust it to your liking. If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, use more coffee. If you prefer a sweeter affogato, use more ice cream.
- Pour the coffee over the ice cream slowly. This will help to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly.
- Serve the affogato immediately. Affogato is best enjoyed immediately after it is made, while the ice cream is still cold and firm.
- Garnish with your favorite toppings. Common garnishes for affogato include chocolate shavings, whipped cream, and nuts.
Conclusion:
Affogato is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a classic Italian treat that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give affogato a try.
