Author note: Affogato is an Italian dessert that literally translates to “drowned.” For this dessert, ice cream is “drowned” in hot espresso. If you do not have an espresso machine, don’t fret. Strong coffee also works. For the ice cream, vanilla gelato is the most traditional, however, feel free to get creative with the type of ice cream used. Small cookies can be served alongside the affogato to be used as a dipping vessel. Toppings, like chocolate chips, can be added to add a bit of crunch.
