Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Place 2 to 3 scoops of your favorite ice cream into a serving glass to create the base of the affogato.
- Brew espresso: Prepare a fresh, hot shot of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker.
- Pour espresso: Immediately pour the hot espresso directly over the ice cream, allowing it to slightly melt and blend for a rich texture.
- Add toppings: Lightly dust the affogato with cocoa powder and sprinkle chopped almonds on top if desired, to introduce extra flavor and crunch.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately while the espresso is hot and the ice cream is melting for the perfect balance.

- Vanilla ice cream is traditional, but coffee or chocolate ice cream can also complement the espresso.
