#affogato

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.

Affogato is the ultimate caffeinated treat. Creamy, indulgent, with a bitter edge and a beautiful contrast of both flavors and temperatures, the classic Italian dessert just oozes sophistication. It can be enjoyed at any time of day - some Italians have affogato as an afternoon pick-me-up, others order it after heavy meals. It's even said to have been a popular breakfast item in the Piedmont region, which honestly makes us want to move there immediately.

Golden Caramel Nespresso pods provide a balanced flavor, making them ideal for a mild affogato without being overly sweet or bitter.
