Brownie Affogato Ice Cream Dessert
What is affogato?
Affogato in Italian means “drowning” and that’s what’s happening to the ice cream in this dessert when hot espresso is poured over it. It’s a classic authentic Italian dessert.
What’s fun about this affogato is watching the steam rise off the ice cream when the hot espresso is poured over top. It tastes like coffee ice cream and is a great alternative to it.
It’s SO EASY-TO-MAKE!
First, make the espresso. It should be very hot. Sometimes using a coffee machine, the temperature is hot but, not as hot as it would using a stovetop Moka machine. Believe me because I tested this.
Next, add your favorite brownie to a small bowl.
Next, add 1-2 scoops of vanilla ice cream to the top of the brownie.
Then, pour hot espresso over top of the ice cream.
Last, add whipped cream!
Doesn’t it look delicious? The espresso is adding coffee flavor to the brownie and the vanilla ice cream. The espresso makes the vanilla ice cream taste like coffee ice cream! Oh, it’s SO GOOD!
Of course you can use chocolate ice cream if you prefer. It’s your dessert and do with it what you want.
When the ice cream melts in the espresso, it tastes a bit like a caffe latte with a delicious brownie, which is why I like it so much! The espresso softens and mixes into the brownie and makes for a yummy combo!
You can use my Espresso Nutella Brownies recipe to make this dessert over the top!
It’s perfect for a quick summer dessert for coffee lovers.
Make this easy brownie affogato ice cream dessert after dinner for a delicious treat. It’s perfect for when you want a quick, tasty dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth.
