Epicure’s Top 10 Affogatos
What do you choose after a satisfying meal – dessert, or a cup of Joe? The Italian’s post-meal ritual is the quintessential dessert-beverage hybrid – the affogato. A classic affogato involves a serving of vanilla or fior de latte gelato drenched in a two-ounce double shot of hot espresso. The espresso should flow down and pool at the bottom of the serving glass, allowing the gelato to melt gradually into it.
This treat is indulgent enough on its own, but it’s common to find more embellished versions these days such as a splash of dessert wine or liqueur for an alcoholic kick. While using gelato is the most authentic way to go, affogato with ice cream (of various flavours) is widely served too. Roasted almonds, amaretti, and biscotti biscuits may also be added for texture, along with berries, coconut and honeycomb to amp up the flavour.
ONE MAN COFFEE
The OMC Seasonal Espresso Blend of 50percent Nicaragua and 50 percent El Salvador beans imparts sour cherry and brown sugar notes that go swimmingly with the French vanilla bean ice cream. A generous dusting of cacao powder accentuates the nuanced dark chocolate flavour of the espresso shot. 215R Upper Thomson Road. Tel: 9658 1685
