Affogato Al Caffe, Part 2
June 13th, 2007
I wrote here already about one of my favourite treats - the Affogato al Caffe, but I thought I’d revisit it after trying it with the Kahlua Espresso ice cream. I thought it was sublime, so if you do make the ice cream (here), definitely try it! The warm espresso and cold ice cream, with a huge coffee kick, is pretty close to heaven.
To make an affogato, you simply take a scoop of ice cream (we like to serve it in a small coffee cup) and pour over some espresso (we use a single shot run long, in other words, an espresso lungo). In the shops, we serve the shot of espresso on the side and let the customer do the pouring.

Wow - it’s breakfast time here in the US, but suddenly ice cream seems very appealing!

Well, I’ve got the ice-cream in my freezer next step coffee…
I’m going to have to pace myself though it needs to last until my next trip to Dingle!
Sublime is the perfect word.

I almost need to lick the screen! Another American food blogger here (moving to Dublin in the fall!), excited to find an Irish food blog like this. I might have to visit Dingle with all these amazing photos.
