An affogato (Italian for "drowned") is an Italian coffee-based dessert. It usually takes the form of a scoop of fior di latte or vanilla gelato or ice cream topped or "drowned" with a shot of hot espresso. Some variations also include a shot of amaretto, Bicerin, or other liqueur.[1][2][3][4]
Though restaurants and cafes in Italy categorize the affogato as a dessert, some restaurants and cafes outside of Italy categorize it as a beverage.[5] Occasionally, coconut, berries, honeycomb and multiple flavors of ice cream are added.[6] Affogatos are often enjoyed as a post-meal coffee dessert combo. [7]
While the recipe of the affogato is more or less standard in Italy, consisting of a scoop of vanilla gelato topped with a shot of espresso, variations exist in European and American restaurants.[8]
History[edit]
The word affogato was added to the English Dictionary in 1992. [9]
