When Giada De Laurentiis introduced her viewers to this dessert, my ears perked!
Affogato (Italian for "drowned")
Pour black coffee (or espresso) over vanilla ice cream.
The end result is divine and how simple is that!? I think we'll try it with other ice creams such as hazelnut or carmel. My favorite part - drinking the leftovers where the coffee and ice cream have mixed together is happy matrimony. Giada adds whipped cream on the top. I say, if you've got it, go for it. If not, it's amazing all the same.
Our friend, Liz, is making homemade vanilla ice cream this weekend. I bet she tries Affogato after reading this and my money is on that her ice cream is better than our store-bought version!
* This show is amazing and yes, we are planning travels around it. We are excited to go to Seattle to try Giada's favorite mini-donuts at Lola, Baltimore for any of Duff's favorites and many, many more. Speaking of Duff's favorite - we made the CMP (one similar, but I am sure not as good as the ones at Woodberry Kitchen). Ours was divine - I can't wait to try their's since I am sure it is heaven!) Click here to watch the explanation of what the CMP is.
