Affogato | Cloth & Paper Happy Hour Drink Recipe

Part drink, part dessert, all delicious! The Affogato - which means “drowned” in Italian - is created by essentially drowning ice cream in espresso.

Affogato Drink Recipe | Cloth & Paper Happy Hour 04.02

Ingredients:

• Espresso 
• Vanilla ice cream or gelato
• Optional garnishes: chocolate or caramel sauce, chocolate shavings, sea salt, and/or grated chocolate espresso beans

Process:

1. Use an ice cream scoop to add 2 scoops of ice cream or gelato to a glass.

2. Brew 1 to 2 shots of espresso. The ideal Affogato ratio is 1 shot of espresso per 1 scoop of ice cream.

3. Pour espresso over ice cream and garnish as desired.  

Note: When working with hot beverages, pour the liquid over the ice cream rather than directly into a glass to prevent glass breakage.
