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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Scoop the Ice Cream:
    Place one generous scoop of chocolate ice cream into the chilled dish.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Serve & Savor:
    Serve immediately with a small spoon. Eat, sip, and enjoy that perfect blend of hot and cold, bitter and sweet!

Tip: Hosting a dinner party? Prep the cups ahead of time in the freezer and wow your guests with this super simple, ultra-sophisticated dessert in under 2 minutes.
