AFFOGATO AL CAFFÉ RECIPE
HOW TO MAKE AN AFFOGATO AL CAFFÉ
This is a neat little trick that you can get in every Italian bar or coffee shop: it turns an espresso coffee into a delicious dessert in one second. Affogato means ‘drowned’, and what could be nicer for a scoop of cold vanilla gelato than to be drowned in a tiny cupful of aromatic hot expresso? It’s a great way to show off your Italian coffee pot, so try it for dessert or for a mid-afternoon pick-up.
