The affogato:
The recipe we bring you today is a delicious dessert to enjoy after lunch or at any time of the day.
The affogato is a dessert that combines two of the great Italian specialties: ice cream and espresso. Originally from Milan, the traditional recipe consists of the combination of vanilla ice cream with hot espresso coffee and is a delicious way to enjoy ice cream in winter and coffee in summer.
