Ingredients from the video

A bit of background about this Affogato style of coffee:
Ah, what a delightful holiday topic! The Affogato, meaning “drowned” in Italian, emerged as a beloved Italian dessert-coffee hybrid in the 20th century.
This simple yet sophisticated treat traditionally consists of:
- a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream
- “drowned” in a freshly pulled shot of hot espresso.
While its exact origins aren’t precisely documented, the Affogato is believed to have originated in Milan, where Italy’s coffee culture and gelato-making expertise intersected perfectly.
The contrast between hot and cold, and the way the espresso melts the gelato to create a creamy coffee drink, made it a popular after-dinner dessert throughout Italy before spreading globally.
Your chocolate and hazelnut variation sounds like a delicious twist on the classic, drawing inspiration from another Italian favourite – gianduja, the beloved chocolate-hazelnut combination from the Piedmont region.
It’s BOXING DAY today in Australia (and other parts of the world), and Christmas Day in the USA and Canada (and other countries) – may your days be filled with love and laughter and many more memories to last for the rest of your life 💜
Have a spectacular week, wherever you are in the world – and please don’t forget to let me know if you make a coffee like this after you watch the Affogato tutorial :-)
