Affogato al Caffè is a classic Italian dessert made with just two ingredients: creamy vanilla gelato and a freshly brewed shot of espresso.

The taste comes from the difference in temperatures. Right before eating, the hot coffee is poured directly over the cold gelato. The ice cream slightly melts, giving the espresso a smooth, creamy texture. It is a straightforward choice for when you want both coffee and a sweet treat after a meal.
