Crafting the perfect affogato is more than meets the eye. In fact, there's more science to the dessert than most would care to acknowledge. Using gelato boosts the incredible flavor, and gives a velvety, silky smoothness ice cream just doesn't have. This is because gelato has a lower fat content, less air, and is served at a different temperature than ice cream. Translation: if you use ice cream you'll end up with something less than perfect as the hot espresso will cause the ice cream to melt faster.
Ingredients
- 5.5 ounces vanilla gelato
- 2 ounces fresh brewed espresso
Instructions
-
1
Place gelato in an old fashioned glass and pour freshly brewed espresso over top. Serve immediately.

Light Panettone
This is my variation on yeasted Christmas panettone with ingredients I like, but fewer calories from sugar. You do need to let the panettone rise a number of times and for long periods, but all the rising results in a soft yet firm panettone that is wonderfully sweet thanks to the dried fruit.
Spicy Pumpkin Chili
Pumpkin infuses a unique flavor to this rich, hearty spicy pumpkin chili, adding a subtle hint of sweetness to this recipe. Your entire house will smell amazing as it cooks. Top it with cheese and jalapeños for even more flavor.
