This enchanted affogato recipe is a luscious fusion of espresso, amaretto liqueur, and creamy vanilla gelato that offers an exquisite sensory experience. It is perfect for those seeking a unique dessert or after-dinner drink with Italian flair.
In a large mixing bowl, gently warm the amaretto liqueur to room temperature.
Carefully pour the warmed amaretto over the freshly brewed espresso in a glass or mug, allowing it to sink slowly into the coffee, creating an enticing contrast between the two liquids.
Using a spoon, delicately scoop the vanilla gelato on top of the amaretto infused espresso, creating a soft mountain of creaminess that encapsulates the essence of indulgence.
Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a touch of grated dark chocolate for added sophistication and depth.
