Affogato = Espresso Over Gelato

Written by MAS

Topics: Cafe Culture

Seattle’s Muse Coffee just started serving Affogato this week.  What is an affogato?  Affogato is Italian for Drowned.  Two shots of hot espresso are poured (drowned) over a few ounces of vanilla or chocolate gelato.  Here is mine from earlier today.

    I can’t tell you how good that sounds right now.

  2. It definitely looks tasty, and I love the idea — but how did it taste?? I ask because it’s giving me a recipe idea …

  3. It was a nice dessert. The next time I try it, I will choose vanilla over chocolate. The chocolate was competing with the espresso for dominant flavor. I can’t allow that. ;)
