An affogato is a simple yet delicious Italian coffee dessert.
Hot espresso is poured onto a scoop of gelato or ice cream. It’s eaten with a spoon as the gelato gently melts in the hot espresso.
An affogato means something a little different at Starbucks.
Instead of espresso poured on top of gelato, an affogato is a shot of espresso poured on top of any drink.
