Afternoon Affogato

If you're looking for a sweet treat this summer, consider this afternoon affogato recipe: ice cream + coffee. Whether you're wanting an afternoon pick-me-up or are winding down at the end of long day, this simple, easily customizable recipe is just the dessert you're after. 

Ingredients:

• 1-2 scoops of ice cream (if you want to keep it low calorie and low sugar, try Halo Top)
• 1-2 shots of espresso (or decaf espresso for an end-of-day, low-caffeine option)
  • Alternatively, 1/4-1/2 cup of cold brew coffee (or decaf cold brew)
• Topping ideas:
  • A sprinkle of cocoa powder
  • Sprinkles if you want to get fun
  • A few fresh mint leaves

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Espresso or Cold Brew: If using espresso, brew a shot of espresso using our Organic Espresso Blend or decaf espresso (Organic Honey Decaf) using your espresso machine. If using cold brew, measure out 1/4-1/2 cup of cold brew coffee.
2. Scoop the Ice Cream: Place 1-2 scoops of ice cream of choice into a small bowl or fun glass.
3. Pour the Coffee: Pour the hot espresso shot or cold brew coffee directly over the scoop of ice cream. The heat from the espresso will slightly melt the ice cream, creating a deliciously creamy coffee treat.
4. Add Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle toppings for an added touch of flavor and presentation.

Tips:

For an extra indulgent treat, try experimenting with different flavors of ice cream like chocolate mint or butter pecan.

🍨 Enjoy your refreshing and creamy Afternoon Affogato!
