A coffee affogato is the simplest dessert you'll ever make, and one of the best ways to show off a good espresso. This version uses Sexie Beans, ground for espresso, poured hot over cold vanilla gelato.
Ingredients (serves 1)
2 scoops vanilla gelato or ice cream
1 shot (30ml) freshly brewed Sexie Beans espresso, hot
A few coffee beans or a dusting of cocoa, for serving
Optional: a splash of amaretto or Kahlua
Method
- Scoop the gelato into a small glass or bowl and place it in the freezer for 5 minutes while you brew the espresso.
- Grind Sexie Beans on the espresso setting and pull one shot.
- Pour the hot espresso directly over the gelato at the table, so it pools and melts slightly as you eat.
- Top with a few coffee beans or a dusting of cocoa and serve immediately.
Tip: use Sexie Next for a bolder, more bitter affogato that cuts through the sweetness of the gelato.
