Affogato

This is the easiest 'fancy' dessert I have up my sleeve. Since you're putting so little work into making such a fab dessert, be sure to use the best espresso roast and vanilla ice cream you can!

• Ready In: 6 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1  scoop  premium vanilla ice cream
• 1  fluid ounce  fresh-  brewed espresso (I would prefer the word 'demitasse' to 'fluid ounce' but the system won't take it, anyway, one of th)
• 1  teaspoon brandy (optional)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Directions

1. Put the scoop of ice cream in a pretty glass, bowl or coffee cup.
2. Combine the hot espresso with the brandy and sugar and pour over ice cream.
3. Serve immediately. (I have a recipe for Espresso Brittle posted - shards of this are lovely served over the Affogato).
