What is an Affogato?

An affogato is a classic Italian dessert featuring a shot of hot espresso poured over creamy gelato. This recipe puts a twist on the classic by using Caramel Oasis coffee to complement the rich, velvety texture of the gelato.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

• 1 cup (8 oz) freshly brewed Caramel Oasis coffee
• 1-2 scoops vanilla bean or caramel gelato (use dairy-free options if needed)
• 1 tbsp caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)
• 1 pinch sea salt (optional, for a salted caramel touch)
• Crushed toffee or caramelized nuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Brew the Coffee
   Prepare a strong cup of Caramel Oasis coffee. The rich caramel notes in the brew will balance beautifully with the creamy gelato.

2. Scoop the Gelato
   Place one or two generous scoops of vanilla bean or caramel gelato in a small serving bowl or glass.

3. Pour the Coffee
   Slowly pour the hot Caramel Oasis coffee over the gelato. The heat from the coffee will melt the gelato slightly, creating a creamy, caramel-infused coffee base.

4. Garnish and Serve
   For an added touch of decadence, drizzle caramel sauce over the top, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt, and garnish with crushed toffee or caramelized nuts.
