Affogato - Espresso Lover's Dream Dessert
This is the kind of dessert that I have to eat mid-afternoon otherwise I'll be up all night with a caffeine high. So, if you're having people over for lunch or you plan on staying up really late, it's the perfect ending to a meal. Plus, it's really simple: Scoop your favorite vanilla ice cream, pour 3-6 oz of hot espresso over it and crumble some amaretti cookies (you can get these at Cost Plus) on top. DELICIOUS.
We drink a lot of coffee and espresso in my house so I'm always looking for ways to incorporate it in my dishes. Do you having favorite coffee recipes?

I love this! I like to put a little bit of espresso grounds in my baking - like brownies - it gives the chocolate such a great flavor boost.
ReplyDeleteYum! We will have to try this one soon :)
ReplyDeleteWe bought the mini cereal boxes for the office vending machine, but they didn't fit, so I ate all the ones I could stand (aka all the ones not coated in sugar. I never really got into sugary cereal). I keep the rest around to feed my brother when he's hungry.
