Affogato Al Caffé
•Posted on June 23 2025

When dessert meets coffee, it’s a match made in heaven. This affogato blends warm espresso with creamy vanilla ice cream and a splash of hazelnut liqueur for a smooth, nutty twist. A dash of cinnamon and a sprinkle of crushed biscotti or chocolate shavings take it to the next level. It’s simple, a little indulgent, and absolutely worth slowing down for.
