Black Rum Affagato

A simple but elegant Affogato, an Italian coffee dessert, and one of my favourites. And here is how now you can make an affogato coffee and customize it. It has just 2-ingredient a dessert made with espresso and gelato or ice cream.

All you need to make this recipe good-quality gelato or vanilla ice cream freshly brewed espresso or coffee (you can even use decaff, if you like!) If you can't find gelato, I'd suggest using a high-quality vanilla bean ice cream.

“ Don't you just love the Italians, for there coffee desserts!”

1. Chill the dessert glass or mug.

2. Make sure the gelato or ice cream is very cold.

3. Brew the espresso just before serving.

4. Either pour the espresso over the ice cream and serve immediately, or serve the espresso on the side and let your guests pour it on themselves.

5. Cool the coffee first if you don't want your dessert to melt too quickly.

6. Garnish is optional, but try sliced almonds or other nuts, chocolate curls, or a shot of liqueur such as Frangelico, Amaretto, or other coffee liqueur. See the blog post for more garnish ideas.
