Boozy After Dinner Affogato
Servings: 1 drink
Equipment
- 1 nespresso, moki pot or espresso maker
Ingredients
- 2 Scoops Coffee Ice Cream
- 1 oz Kahlua
- 2.5 oz Espresso or strong brewed coffee*
Cinnamon Sugar Rim
- ¼ cup White Sugar
- 1 tbs Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Vanilla Bean optional
Instructions
- Make Cinnamon Sugar Rim: In a small bowl, whisk ¼ cup sugar + cinnamon & vanilla bean if using so there are no clumps. Dump on a small flat dish. Wet rim of your glass (i like to pour a bit of coffee in a bowl and tap the rim into that). Tap the wet edge of glass into the cinnamon sugar & scotch it around until rim is coated.
- Serve Affogato: Add 1-2 scoops of ice cream to rimmed glass. If one scoop you want it to be a good hefty one. Pour Kahlua around edges of ice cream. Pour hot espresso over top of the ice cream lightly. Sip or eat with spoon.
Notes
Home Cook Tip:
- You really want to use espresso. But in a pinch, strong brewed coffee does work. The drink & sweetness and everything balances much better with an espresso, but I have made it with strong brewed coffee and it's good!
- traditionally adffogato is with gelato which is creamy and fatty. It holds up to the hot espresso a little better. Your more airy ice creams may melt quicker - but are still equally delicious
