An affogato is just two ingredients: a scoop of ice cream "drowned" in a hot shot of espresso. We love it with pistachio ice cream, which is easy to find across the UAE and pairs perfectly with a rich, chocolatey roast.
Makes: 1 serving
You'll need
- 1 single espresso shot from your OutIn (about 40 ml)
- 1–2 scoops pistachio ice cream (or vanilla)
- A few crushed pistachios to finish
Method
- Scoop the ice cream into a small glass or cup and put it in the freezer for a few minutes so it stays firm.
- Brew a fresh espresso.
- Pour the hot espresso over the ice cream at the table.
- Sprinkle with crushed pistachios and eat straight away.
Tips
- A darker roast gives the best contrast with sweet ice cream.
- Try it with saffron or cardamom ice cream for a regional twist.
- Hosting? Set up an affogato bar with a few ice cream flavours and let guests brew their own shot.
