Chef's notes
Affogato can be served with various toppings like caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, or toasted nuts.
For an authentic Italian experience, use vanilla gelato instead of vanilla ice cream.
Affogato can be prepared ahead by scooping ice cream into glasses, covering, and freezing. Just pour espresso over it before serving.
