Make It: Affogato

Happy Wednesday! In honor of today being smack-dab in the middle of the week {and just because} we’re sharing a sweet treat to perk up your week. Affogato.

What is this foreign treat, you ask? It’s a delicious Italian dessert made with espresso and ice cream. We like to make ours a little extra special so we drizzle caramel. This is the perfect dessert for a dinner party; serve your guests dessert and coffee all in one. Serve up this dessert table-side European dessert cart-style and your guests will eat it up!

 

You’ll need: espresso {freshly brewed} | vanilla bean ice cream | caramel sauce

Scoop the ice cream into a bistro glass or coffee mug and top with espresso – about 1/2 way up the glass. Drizzle with hot caramel sauce.

Easy peasy, right? Trust us when we tell you that this is so scrumptious and it’s an impressive way to treat your guests to a new delight.

So what do you have planned for this middle-of-the-week day?
