Notities

When Affogato Goes Nuts

The classic Italian affogato needs little more than vanilla ice cream and a freshly brewed espresso. Adding liqueur turns that simple combination into a richer after-dinner treat — and for The Affogato Nut Job №43, one liqueur simply wasn’t enough.

Amaretto takes the leading role, bringing its distinctive sweet, almond-like character to the vanilla ice cream and coffee. Licor 43 plays a supporting part, adding its characteristic notes of vanilla, citrus and spice without overpowering the Amaretto.

Hot espresso brings everything together. At first, the coffee provides a pleasantly bitter contrast to the sweet liqueurs and creamy vanilla ice cream. As the ice cream gradually melts, the flavours soften and combine into a creamy, nutty and coffee-forward finish.

The result is unmistakably affogato — it has simply gone a little nuts.

The experience changes as it melts — so don’t rush it, but don’t wait too long either.
