This affogato recipe might just be the easiest dessert ever. All you need are a few scoops of ice cream and a glug of hot espresso.
I like to eat this with a spoon, savoring the bitter hot coffee against the creamy and cold ice cream.
Then, right at the end, you’ll have a velvety smooth coffee and melted ice cream drink. So it’s two treats in one!
And feel free to mix up the flavors. Use a different flavor of ice cream and mix up the sauces. You really can’t go wrong!
