This Espress Float (Affogato) is not for the faint of heart as it packs a powerful punch. Affogato means “drowned” in Italian and that is exactly what happens to the vanilla ice cream. A generous scoop of vanilla ice cream drowns in 1 or 2 shots of espresso topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
Ingredients for Espresso Float:
- 4 cups hot Italian espresso coffee, divided
- 8 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 4 tablespoons brandy, optional
- Whipped cream
Directions for Espresso Float:
- In 4 individual serving bowls, place 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
- Pour 1 cup hot espresso coffee, 1 tablespoon brandy, and a dollop of whipped cream to garnish. Serve and enjoy.
Serves 4.
