Diets 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!
ice cream
coffee (regular, such as Gefen Nescafe, or flavored)
toppings (see below)
1 banana, mashed
3/4 cup Haddar Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Gefen Maple Syrup
sea salt
Here are the combinations featured above, but feel free to get creative with the flavors. The possibilities are endless! – Vanilla ice cream + coffee + coffee beans – Chocolate ice cream + mocha coffee + chocolate bark – Vanilla ice cream + coffee + mint extract + cookie crumbs + fresh mint – Caramel swirl ice cream + caramel coffee + caramel cream – Vanilla ice cream + banana bread syrup (recipe follows) + coffee + brûléed banana slices – Vanilla ice cream + chocolate milk (kid-friendly version!)
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes. Strain, cool, and serve.
