Affogato Italiano

Chocolate Raspberry Affogato
A rich, Italian-inspired dessert drink featuring Lancaster County Coffee’s Chocolate Raspberry blend and creamy chocolate ice cream. Perfect for hot summer nights or as an after-dinner treat!
Ingredients:
-
1 generous scoop chocolate ice cream (or gelato, if you’re feeling fancy)
-
1 shot (about ¼ cup) hot brewed Chocolate Raspberry coffee from Lancaster County Coffee (use espresso or strong brew method)
-
Optional toppings: shaved chocolate, fresh raspberries, or a light dusting of cocoa powder
Instructions:
-
Chill Your Dish:
Place your serving glass, small bowl, or espresso cup in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. A cold dish helps keep your affogato from melting too fast and adds a nice contrast to the hot espresso. -
Brew Your Coffee:
Brew a strong shot (or ¼ cup) of Chocolate Raspberry coffee. If you have an espresso machine, pull a shot using fine grounds. If not, use a French press or drip method with double-strength coffee. The goal is to get a bold, rich flavor that pairs beautifully with the ice cream. -
Scoop the Ice Cream:
Place one generous scoop of chocolate ice cream into the chilled dish. -
Pour & Watch the Magic:
Immediately pour the hot Chocolate Raspberry coffee over the ice cream. The heat will start to melt the ice cream slightly, creating a creamy, dreamy blend of flavors. -
Garnish (If You’d Like):
Top with a few fresh raspberries, a sprinkle of shaved chocolate, or a pinch of cocoa powder for extra flair. -
Serve & Savor:
Serve immediately with a small spoon. Eat, sip, and enjoy that perfect blend of hot and cold, bitter and sweet!
