Made my 1st Affogato Tonight!!
Sunday, January 10th, 2021 10:02 pm
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!

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!!!
