Affogato might be one of the easiest desserts/coffee drinks you could possibly make, it only requires two ingredients: espresso and ice cream. There something absolutely magical happening once that hot shot of good quality espresso touches the freezing cold ice cream scoop.

INGREDIENTS (1 serving)

  • 1-2 scoops of your ice cream of choice
    • I recommend using richer flavors like vanilla, chocolate or caramel instead of fruity ones
  • 1-2 shots of good quality espresso

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

Add one to two scoops of ice cream to the serving glass.

Step 2

Pour the freshly made shot(s) of espresso in the glass, right on top of the ice cream. Serve everything using a spoon.

Here’s a video of the two ingredients dancing together

You may have seen my work on TV, Food Network, NYT Cooking, Food52 and more. I make recipes more fun and accessible for home cooks. I immigrated to the US from Transylvania, Romania—where I lived most of my life—in 2021 to pursue my passion for cooking full-time. Here you’ll find a collection of approachable recipes, from weeknight dinners to desserts, you’ll come back to over and over again. Some of my most popular recipes include my chicken paprikash, orange chicken roast with fennel and shallots or butter beans all vodka. Some recipes are inspired by my Romanian-Hungarian upbringing, and most definitely all come with that Transylvanian resourcefulness! I love a good thrift, so make sure to catch my thrift hauls every Sunday on my Instagram!
