Ingredients for Affogato coffee:
- 1 scoop of ice cream to taste. Although, the traditional flavor to prepare Affogato coffee is with vanilla ice cream since as it is not such a strong flavor, it leaves the prominence to coffee; But you can try other variations of flavors such as rum with raisins, dark chocolate, white chocolate (a perfect option for those with a sweet tooth in the house), among others, that combine with the bitter and aromatic taste of coffee. Just keep in mind that very acidic fruit flavors and sorbet-style ice creams do not fit into the Affogato coffee equation.
