Affogato: Step by Step Guide

Brew the Espresso:

Grind Barista & Co Samba Nights coffee beans to a fine consistency.

Prepare two shots of espresso using an espresso machine or coffee maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Set aside.

Make the Sweet Espresso Sauce:

In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir gently over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.

Add the brewed espresso and continue stirring for another minute.

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Allow the sauce to cool slightly before using. It will thicken slightly as it cools.

Assemble the Affogato: 

Place a scoop of Jersey Dairy vanilla ice cream into each dessert glass or bowl.

Pour a shot of freshly brewed espresso over each scoop of ice cream, allowing the coffee to cascade around the edges.

Drizzle a generous amount of the Sweet Espresso Sauce over the ice cream and espresso.

Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful contrast of hot espresso and cold, creamy ice cream.

Tips for Making the Perfect Affogato

 ⭐ You can also add a splash of liqueur, such as amaretto or Baileys, to the espresso for an extra kick of flavour.

⭐ If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use strong coffee instead, but be sure to brew it extra strong for the best flavour.

⭐ For a fun twist, try adding some crushed cookies or chocolate chips on top of the ice cream before pouring the espresso.
