"While you can technically incorporate several different liquids and frozen treats, the most common variation involves pouring coffee (specifically espresso) over a scoop of ice cream (typically vanilla). It's an indulgent treat that people often try when visiting Italy, especially at the iconic Vivoli Ice Cream Shop. However, since the basic recipe for affogato is so simple, you don't have to wait to experience this refreshingly delicious treat."
"All you need is a cup of coffee and an ice cream sandwich. In the video, Brown dips an ice cream sandwich into a cup of black coffee, quipping that this is an easy method of "[making] the affogato in your mouth." While it obviously isn't as fancy as one from an actual Italian gelateria, it has the same flavor profile and will give you a little taste of Italy while traveling across America."
"And, of course, you can also fully customize the treat - at least, to the extent that the gas station you're visiting allows anyway. Use different flavors of ice cream and coffee to make your own exciting profiles, allowing for a sweeter bite or a more complex one depending on if you use plain black coffee or a flavored latte."
Affogato pairs hot coffee, traditionally espresso, with a scoop of ice cream, most often vanilla. The dessert has a simple composition that allows many variations using different liquids and frozen treats. A practical travel method uses a cup of black coffee and an ice cream sandwich to reproduce the affogato experience on the go. The flavor profile can be customized by selecting different ice cream flavors and coffee preparations, from plain black coffee to flavored lattes. Fast-food locations that sell soft serve and espresso enable quick affogato-style combinations during travel.
