Made my 1st Affogato Tonight!!

[amarie24]

My ingredients:

-Hot brewed coffee (as pictured, caramel macchiato from the Eight O’clock brand)
-Vanilla ice cream, from part of my Neapolitan ice cream (so there’s some strawberry and chocolate flavor mixed in there)
-Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Ya’ll. This. Is. Amazing.

I can’t believe I took so long to try this!! The temperature contrast of the ice cream vs the coffee is awesome and pleasing. But it’s the bitterness of the coffee (from what I understand, you just pour it over straight black from the pot, no added cream or sugar) with the ice cream’s sweetness…that is the sweet spot. The chocolate chips add to its delicious contrast for sure!!

Like, at first bite, I literally did that thing where my eyes cross and I dance in place and I hum a random song because it. Is. So. Good.

I give it a 10/10!

Thank you, thank you! It tasted awesome, too! :D

Sounds like it went exactly according to plan. Good.

[amarie24]

It was very, very good!

(And I'm still not talking to you, you friend-eating dragon.)

[silveradept]

Okay. I can be not talked to.

[amarie24]

Chicken betrayer!!

[silveradept]

I did say that I would wait until it was an appropriate time, at least.

[amarie24]

It is never an appropriate time to eat your own friend.

I am so glad I told Azz on you.

[alexseanchai]

I don't think I did this right…

[amarie24]

What a cute keurig!!

Umm...oop! From the looks of it...you look like you just got a little too much coffee than you do ice cream. I poured my coffee from my decanter myself so I could control how much of it I had vs. the ice cream in my cup. The trick, I think, is that you want only just enough coffee that you can still see the sides and tops of your ice cream scoops. That way you didn't drown your ice cream and the heat from the coffee doesn't overtake the cold from the ice cream and you don't get that nice, initial temperature contrast.

Uhh...that was long. In a nutshell, more ice cream than coffee. :P

Lemme know if you liked it the first time around, tho!!!

[alexseanchai]

yeah I just the smallest size coffee cup the Keurig auto-pours and this was a Mistake

[amarie24]

Hmm...if you don't mind the extra dish, would you mind first pouring the coffee from the keurig into a heat-resistant measuring cup, if you have one? That way, it'll have a spout that'll make it easy to then pour as much coffee as you want over your ice cream? :O

[alexseanchai]

that would definitely work, I just did not do that because I wanted the whole cup of coffee. clearly what I need to do is increase the volume of ice cream.

[amarie24]

Hey, it's no worries!! I'm so happy you tried it at all-it's great to try new foods! Also, may I ask what flavor coffee that was? My caramel flavor went great with mine!

[alexseanchai]

coffee flavor? 😅 it's light roast bc higher caffeine lower bitter

[amarie24]

Oh, my bad! I'm...a Preppy Black Girl, so I almost exclusively drink flavored coffees unless it's a coffee my mom makes. So I be all up in the caramel macchiato, anything chocolate/white chocolate/white mocha, I adore peppermint mocha during the winter.

Yeah, I drink flavored coffees like nothing else, haha.
