affogato + chocolate espresso biscotti

affogato + chocolate espresso biscottiAffogato translates to "drowned" in Italian - affogato al cafe, meaning drowned in coffee, is a traditional Italian treat served in cafes consisting of a shot or two of hot espresso poured over vanilla or coffee ice cream. Affogatos can be dressed up in many ways; chocolate shavings, whipped cream or chocolate covered espresso beans. To me, the perfect pairing to an affogato treat would be biscotti, the famous twice baked Italian cookie. What a better way to celebrate the month of coffee than with an affogato and chocolate espresso almond biscotti.

    There's a local shop here called Pitango that I get affogato at sometimes. Sooo good.
    Biscotti is also on my to bake list for MoFo! I am thinking chocolate almond, but chocolate espresso sounds awful tempting too.

    Great guest post, Heather! I love affogato (though I haven't had it in ages), and biscotti is one of my favorite things to have alongside any coffee. Your recipe looks absolutely perfect!

    I've always wanted to try affogato, but I don't have an espresso maker myself and I don't see it on menus often...love the idea of pairing it with the coconut coffee ice cream - yum! Not to mention adding that biscotti!

      I had no idea what I bought was actually an espresso maker! I did a little research and found out after the fact, I just like the color and thought it was adorable, plus it was on sale!
