This classic Italian dessert recipe is just about the simplest dessert around and possibly the most delicious.

Serves 4
Ready in 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 200ml made-up hot strong espresso coffee
  • 4 scoops good-quality vanilla ice cream
  • Plain chocolate (optional)

Method: How to make classic italian affogato

1. Make the espresso coffee, which will be enough for 4 little after-dinner coffee cups.

Tip

Baileys Ice Cream is also delicious, even though it's not the real Italian job.

2. Put the ice cream into 4 dessert glasses or cups. Drown (the literal meaning of affogato) each with coffee and serve while warm and melting. For an added treat, you could melt a few pieces of plain chocolate in the hot coffee before pouring over the ice cream.
