What goes hand in hand with Almond & Pistachio Biscotti?
Affogato of course!
Translated it means 'drowned' and that is exactly what you are going to do to the ice cream with the coffee.
Use: Good quality vanilla bean ice cream; hot espresso shot & (optional) a shot of your favourite liqueur such as frangelico
Do: Place one or two scoops of ice cream in a bowl or glass. Prepare a shot of coffee (using an espresso machine preferably) and pour over ice cream. (If using a liqueur, pour this over now aswell). Eat with a spoon.
The juxtaposition of the hot and cold sensations in your mouth at once is sublime.
NomNom!
I totally get what you're saying!! I love a good affogato too. YUM. Coffee and dessert in one.
