Have you ever tried an affogato? This coffee and ice cream treat is about as simple as it gets: a shot of strong espresso is poured on top of a scoop of ice cream and eaten with a spoon. It might sound simple, but it’s absolutely delectable.
There are lots of different options for making an affogato in terms of ice cream. Here are some flavors that you should try the next time you make or order one.
Chocolate
Coffee and chocolate is a classic flavor combination, and it works great with affogatos. We especially like using dark chocolate ice cream, as it isn’t overly sweet and allows for a good interplay between sugar and bitterness.
Vanilla
The most classic form of affogato involves combining espresso with vanilla ice cream. It’s hard to argue with how delicious this tastes, resulting in a flavor that combines dairy, the bitterness of coffee, and the light sweetness of vanilla.
Mint
Mint is another great option when trying out an affogato. Do you like peppermint patties? If so, top your mint affogato with dark chocolate shavings and marvel at just how delicious this combination is.
