Island Affogato image

Traditional affogato is vanilla gelato topped with espresso, but here a tropical sorbet forms an island in a coffee-flavored rum sea. Rum-based Tia Maria® coffee liqueur is preferred for its wonderful rich flavor.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen
1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
½ cup cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez®)
1 1x3-inch strip of lemon peel

1 fluid ounce coffee liqueur (such as Tia Maria®)
1 fluid ounce dark rum (such as Myers's®)

Steps:

  • Place banana slices, pineapple chunks, and cream of coconut in a blender; blend until sorbet mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Freeze sorbet in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions, or pour into a freezer-safe container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes to break up large ice crystals, until firm, up to 2 hours.
  • Coil lemon peel into a cylinder and secure with 1 toothpick. Insert mint leaves through the top to create "pineapple" leaves.
  • Mix coffee liqueur and dark rum together in a coupe glass.
  • Place a 2-ounce scoop of sorbet in a coupe glass. Pour coffee liqueur and rum mixture on top. Insert 1 toothpick into the center of the sorbet scoop. Place the "pineapple" garnish on top.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my affogato turned out watery. I think I might have used too much coffee.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I still enjoyed this affogato. The flavors were well-balanced and the ice cream was creamy and smooth.
