Step aside, cheesecake! This Shavuos, we’re serving an affogato flight.

Affogato is a decadent Italian dessert that’s simply an espresso poured over a scoop or two of gelato or ice cream. Today, we’re glamming up this concept with mix and match flavors, syrups, and toppings that makes this treat Yom-Tov-worthy.

What I love about this dessert is that it’s interactive, customizable, and honestly really fun to serve. And don’t worry, this doesn’t have to be fancy. You can absolutely use espresso, but brewed (or instant) coffee works just as well!
