                                Originating in Italy, the affogato is a classic dessert that features a scoop of vanilla ice cream or gelato "drowned" in a shot of hot espresso. This delightful and simple concoction creates a magical contrast of hot and cold, bitter and sweet that is enjoyed across the globe.
