The affogato is a beloved classic for a reason. This delightful Italian dessert offers a perfect harmony of contrasts: bitter meets sweet, hot meets cold, and rich espresso meets creamy ice cream.

2 scoops high quality vanilla ice cream (gelato is traditional, but good ice cream works perfectly) (I use Blue Bell Vanilla Ice Cream)
