Creamy Chocolate Affogato
Affogato is an Italian coffee-based dessert featuring a scoop of ice cream topped with a shot of hot espresso. While the Italians have it right, we made this recipe a little more kid-friendly (and chocolate-y) for a sweetly simple frozen treat.
Just remember, the hot sauce will start melting the ice cream, so pour it on at the table for a mouthwatering show.
Ingredients:
AFFOGATO SAUCE:
2 bars milk chocolate
1 Mehadrin whipped cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups milk
2 tablespoons coffee, diluted
ICE CREAM:
5 cups Mehadrin vanilla ice cream
Chocolate chunks
Chopped nuts
Instructions
In a double boiler, melt chocolate, cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add milk and coffee and stir together until no lumps remain. If necessary, use an immersion blender to make it smoother.
To assemble: Place a scoop of ice cream in a glass, add some chocolate chunks and chopped nuts. Pour hot affogato sauce over the ice cream at the table or immediately before serving.
