Food How-To: Chocolate Affogato

Affogato is a coffee based drink where hot espresso is poured over ice-cold ice cream.   I tried a variation where I used a shot of salted hot dark chocolate with cookie dough ice-cream.  Since the ice cream and the chocolate shot were sweet, the result was slightly over sweet, but an amazing combination of flavours between the vanilla and dark chocolate flavour makes up for it. 

Next time, darker chocolate shot + vanilla ice cream instead. Definitely more experimentation to come. Very simple to make if you have chocolate and ice cream at home

The Ingredients - a scoop of cookie dough ice cream, a shot of 60% dark chocolate.

Ingredients List

  1. A Shot of strong hot chocolate 
  • Melt Dark Chocolate (~60-70% dark chocolate) mixed with a small amount of milk in the microwave, mixing every 10 seconds to ensure the chocolate/milk won't burn. 
  • Once melted, added a pinch of salt. 
  1. A Scoop of Ice Cream (I just took what I had at home, Haagen Daaz cookie dough ice cream)
  2. Pour and Serve!
