Pumpkin Affogato Recipe

The definition of “affogato” in Italian is literally “drowned,” and typically an affogato recipe calls for an espresso-drowning of gelato. This, then, is our spin on the zippy dessert. As you can see pictured beside here, we paired pumpkin gelato with our Homemade Chai Tea recipe, and the coupling was brilliant. Play with caramel, dulce de leche, creme brulee, pistachio, or good ol’ fashioned vanilla ice cream flavors in this recipe, or reach out to a local gelato shop for a special-ordered batch of (very seasonal) pumpkin gelato. Greet visitors to your home with a delicious cupful of affogato, or serve it for dessert.

affogato tips and tricks
