“Affogato” (which is Italian for “drowned”) is an easy but delicious Italian dessert. Simply “drown” a scoop of vanilla or fior di latte gelato with an espresso. The result is the perfect contrast of FREDDO CONTRO CALDO (“cold vs. hot”) and DOLCE CONTRO AMARO (“sweet vs. bitter”). The better the gelato and espresso, the better your affogato. Buon appetito!
