Plenty of fun coffee shop-inspired drinks are out there, but none are as indulgent as an affogato. Just like an exquisite bite of tiramisu<\/a>, this simple Italian dessert will transport you to Italy in about a minute.<\/p>\n

An affogato recipe will win your heart with its combination of cold vanilla gelato and hot espresso or strong coffee. It\u2019s like a dressed-up, after-dinner espresso, perfect to serve following a feast of hearty Italian pasta<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is affogato?<\/h2>\n

Pronounced ah-fo-gah-toe<\/em>, this Italian treat is a combination of espresso and gelato. Occasionally you\u2019ll see this dessert drink listed as affogato al caffe<\/em>, which means \u201cdrowned coffee\u201d in Italian.<\/p>\n

To make an affogato recipe, gelato (or ice cream) is covered in delicious espresso. And pouring the coffee over the gelato is half the fun! When the espresso hits the gelato, the gelato starts to melt and a thick, swirly foam of ice cream and coffee forms.<\/p>\n
