Ingredients- 3 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream (adjust to your preference)
- 100ml Cold Milk
- 1 shot Freshly Brewed Espresso (approx. 30ml)
- 1 standard paper cup of Ice Cubes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by adding 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream to your blender. If the ice cream is very hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier blending.
Step 2
Next, carefully add about one paper cup’s worth of ice cubes on top of the ice cream. You can adjust the amount of ice to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 3
Pour in 100ml of cold milk. Using more milk will result in a creamier texture, while less milk will yield a richer flavor.
Step 4
Secure the lid on the blender. Pulse the mixture briefly, just until the ice is crushed but still has a slight texture; avoid over-blending, as this can melt the ice cream and make the drink too thin.
Step 5
Pour the blended affogato mixture into your serving glass. Gently pour the hot espresso shot over the top. The hot espresso will slightly melt the ice cream, creating a beautiful swirl and releasing a wonderful coffee aroma. Serve immediately and enjoy this cool, refreshing treat!
