Vanilla ice cream can substitute for creamer, adding sweetness, natural creaminess and cooling to hot coffee. The icy texture produces a creamy flavor profile similar to liquid cream. Combining hot espresso with a scoop of vanilla mirrors the Italian affogato, pairing bitter coffee with sugary smooth ice cream or gelato. Suitable pairings include classic vanilla or chocolate, while chocolate chip cookie dough and mint chip create mocha-like twists as cocoa chips melt into the cup. Nutty or caramel-style flavors mimic hazelnut or caramel creamers. Citrus sorbets and cotton candy are poor choices due to acidity and artificial sweetness.
You made a fresh brewed cup of coffee and you're ready to pour in the creamer so you can be on your merry way. But when you get to the fridge, you're sad to learn that you've run out! But fear not - you have sweet vanilla ice cream left in your freezer. Plopping a dollop of the frozen treat into your coffee is unique but delicious alternative if there's no more creamer around.
The flavor profile of the frosty treat is similar to cream but in icy form. Regardless of the type or taste of the ice cream, putting it to your cup of joe can add sweetness and natural creaminess while also cooling down your hot mug of caffeine. This method is reminiscent of the classic Italian affogato dish which combines burning hot and bitter espresso shots with a scoop of sugary but smooth vanilla ice cream or gelato for a delectable after dinner dessert.
By mixing and matching different flavors of ice cream with your coffee, you can get a wide variety of brews that will help you look forward to waking up in the morning. Choosing the correct sundae scoop for the java can actually make or break the drink. Select the classic vanilla or chocolate for a standard cup if you're not feeling too adventurous.
