AFFOGATO

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
L'affogato al caffè, a dessert of gelato drowned in espresso, is "one of Italy's most delectable modern dishes," writes Anna Del Conte in her "Gastronomy of Italy." The ice cream can be fior di latte, vanilla or chocolate, or whatever you like. Dulce de leche, with its caramelized milkiness, would be wonderful, as would cherry amaretto. The magic of affogato is that you get two pleasures in one: a spoonable dessert sauced with coffee, and a cream-blushed drink to chase it. The sweet ice cream and bitter coffee should enhance, not overtake each other. Like the best partners, they should meet in the middle.

Steps:
- Make the espresso first so it can sit while you scoop the gelato. If you don't have a moka pot or an espresso machine, run to the nearest coffee shop.
- Add the very cold gelato to a small shallow bowl or glass that's been chilled in the freezer until frosty and cold to the touch.
- Slowly pour the hot espresso in a thin stream directly over the gelato, draping the entire surface of the scoop with an even layer of coffee. You can add a splash of amaretto here if you'd like (the almond flavor would be welcome), but the best affogato is a simple affogato. Just be sure to start eating it before the gelato completely melts: In each bite, you want solid spoonfuls of the gelato thinly draped in coffee.
