Happy Wednesday everybody!!! I kind of feel silly even sharing this as a ‘recipe’ because it doesn’t get much easier than this delicious treat, but when I love things, I want to share them with y’all. To be honest, I totally thought I invented putting ice cream with coffee or espresso, which I have done for years, but apparently I didn’t come up with it, womp, womp, womp…
Putting coffee or espresso with ice cream has a name, Affogato which in Italian actually means ‘drowned’, yikes, right? But don’t let the meaning freak you out, because drowning your Gelato in coffee or espresso is such a delicious idea, it’s not to be missed.
Y’all, I even took the extra easy way out and used my Keurig because I didn’t feel like brewing a whole pot haha. I love the dichotomy of hot mixed with cold, but honestly I think the pre-made iced coffee would be as equally as delicious in this too. For a wonderful little treat, I definitely think you should make this on your next cheat day 🙂 Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
- 2-4 Scoops of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream or Gelato.
- 4-8 Ounces of Freshly Brewed Coffee or 1 Shot of Espresso.
- Scoop your ice cream into your coffee mug then drown it in some freshly brewed coffee.
- Grate some chocolate on top if you like and enjoy!!
two of my favorite things!
don’t know why I’ve never done this . . . you can be sure I will now!!
Oh absolutely! it’s such a great combo!
