Steps:
- Using an electric mixer, beat the cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate the whipped cream.
- Whisk the boiling water and espresso powder in a 1 cup glass measuring cup until the powder is dissolved, or use an espresso machine to make 4 shots of espresso. Scoop 1/2 cup of the gelato or ice cream into each of 4 dessert bowls or glasses. Pour 2 tablespoons or 1 shot of hot espresso over each. Top with the whipped cream and serve immediately.
AFFOGATO
Crafting the perfect affogato is more than meets the eye. In fact, there's more science to the dessert than most would care to acknowledge. Using gelato boosts the incredible flavor, and gives a velvety, silky smoothness ice cream just doesn't have. This is because gelato has a lower fat content, less air, and is served at a different temperature than ice cream. Translation: if you use ice cream you'll end up with something less than perfect as the hot espresso will cause the ice cream to melt faster.

AFFOGATO
L'affogato al caffè, a dessert of gelato drowned in espresso, is "one of Italy's most delectable modern dishes," writes Anna Del Conte in her "Gastronomy of Italy." The ice cream can be fior di latte, vanilla or chocolate, or whatever you like. Dulce de leche, with its caramelized milkiness, would be wonderful, as would cherry amaretto. The magic of affogato is that you get two pleasures in one: a spoonable dessert sauced with coffee, and a cream-blushed drink to chase it. The sweet ice cream and bitter coffee should enhance, not overtake each other. Like the best partners, they should meet in the middle.

Steps:
- Make the espresso first so it can sit while you scoop the gelato. If you don't have a moka pot or an espresso machine, run to the nearest coffee shop.
- Add the very cold gelato to a small shallow bowl or glass that's been chilled in the freezer until frosty and cold to the touch.
- Slowly pour the hot espresso in a thin stream directly over the gelato, draping the entire surface of the scoop with an even layer of coffee. You can add a splash of amaretto here if you'd like (the almond flavor would be welcome), but the best affogato is a simple affogato. Just be sure to start eating it before the gelato completely melts: In each bite, you want solid spoonfuls of the gelato thinly draped in coffee.

BROWNIE AFFOGATO SUNDAE
This sundae takes its inspiration from an affogato, an Italian dessert consisting of a scoop of ice cream or gelato topped with a shot of hot espresso. Here, I add a decadent espresso brownie at the bottom for a twist on the classic restaurant-style brownie sundae with the added bold shot and creamy texture of an affogato. For an extra special treat, serve with any flavor of ice cream on hand: coconut, caramel and pistachio would all be scrumptious!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square cake pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least 2 sides.
- Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder and salt in a medium bowl until combined and set aside.
- Microwave the butter and chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl on high power in 10-second bursts, stirring between each burst until melted, 40 seconds to 1 minute. Set aside.
- Place the eggs, granulated sugar, light brown sugar and vanilla in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Alternatively, use a large bowl and handheld electric mixer. Whisk until pale yellow ribbons form and the mixture is almost tripled in volume, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the mixer and add the melted chocolate. Mix on low speed until no streaks of chocolate remain, about 1 minute. Turn off the mixer and add the flour mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined and no pockets of dry flour remain, about 1 minute.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth with the back of a spoon. Bake until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out slightly fudgy, 26 to 30 minutes. Immediately bang the pan against the counter several times to deflate the brownies and let cool in the pan for at least 1 hour. Lift the brownies from the pan by the parchment paper edges and cut into 16 pieces.
- To serve, place one brownie in a small serving bowl, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and pour a shot of hot espresso over top. Serve immediately.

Affogato: A Delectable Italian Dessert
Affogato is an Italian word that means drowned or suffocated. It refers to a delicious dessert that consists of a scoop of vanilla ice cream or gelato that is drowned in a shot of espresso. Affogato recipes have been around since the early 1900s, and they have become increasingly popular in recent years. Affogato is not only a dessert but also a drink that can be enjoyed at any time of the day.History of Affogato
The origin of affogato recipe is uncertain, but it is believed to have originated in Italy. The first recorded mention of affogato was in Turin, Italy, in the early 1900s. It was originally known as "espresso con gli occhi aperti," which means "espresso with open eyes." The name was later changed to "affogato al caffè," which means "drowned in coffee," as the dessert is typically served with a shot of espresso.How to Make Affogato
Making affogato is a simple process that requires just two ingredients: vanilla ice cream or gelato and a shot of espresso. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make affogato: 1. Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream or gelato in a serving glass or cup. 2. Brew a shot of espresso using an espresso machine. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a Moka pot or French press to create a strong coffee. 3. Pour the espresso shot over the ice cream or gelato. 4. Serve immediately.Variations of Affogato
While the classic affogato recipe includes only vanilla ice cream or gelato and a shot of espresso, there are many variations of this dessert that you can try. Here are some popular variations of affogato:- Chocolate Affogato: Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup or melt a piece of chocolate into the espresso shot before pouring it over the ice cream or gelato.
- Alcoholic Affogato: Add a shot of your favorite liqueur to the espresso shot before pouring it over the ice cream or gelato. Popular options include amaretto, Baileys, or Kahlúa.
- Fruit Affogato: Add a scoop of fruit sorbet or puree fresh fruit to the vanilla ice cream or gelato before pouring the espresso shot over it. Popular fruit options include strawberries, raspberries, and mango.
- Caramel Affogato: Drizzle caramel sauce over the ice cream or gelato before pouring the espresso shot over it.
- Coconut Affogato: Replace the vanilla ice cream or gelato with coconut ice cream or gelato and add a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top.
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
Affogato can be served in many different ways, depending on your preference. Some serving suggestions include:- Serve affogato in a tall glass with a spoon and a straw for easy sipping and scooping.
- Garnish affogato with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or a fresh mint leaf for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve affogato with a side of biscotti or other Italian cookies for dipping.
- Pair affogato with a glass of sparkling water or a small glass of amaretto for a complete Italian dessert experience.
