Classic Affogato

Prep the Glass

1. Place a small, heatproof glass or dessert bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill. This keeps the ice cream from melting the moment it hits the dish.

Assemble and Serve

2. Scoop the vanilla ice cream or gelato into the pre-chilled glass.

3. Brew your shot of hot espresso directly into a small pourer or espresso cup.

4. Slowly pour the hot espresso over the cold ice cream.

5. Grate a tiny bit of dark chocolate over the top if desired, and serve immediately with a spoon.
