What is Affagato????? ( Italian for “drowned)

Affagato is an Italian based . It usually takes the form of vanilla or topped or drowned with a shot of hot . I kicked it up a notch for the season!!!!

Strawberries, white chocolate, coffee and ice cream all in one glass!!!

I think that’s what dreams are made of, everything delicious in every sip.

I wanted one last fling with my favorite berry , and because it’s almost Christmas,

I added cranberries to this holiday cozy , I don’t drink alcohol ( that’s another story) if you do, you can add Bailey’s

or coffee liquor.

It’s important to strain the strawberry and cranberry puree before adding the rest of the ingredients.

I use a fine strainer to do this, then return the puree to the pot to finish the cooking process.

Vanilla ice cream is my favorite, so that’s what I use, you can use any flavor you like.

In fact as I am writing this am thinking would be heavenly in this affogato drink.

If your making this drink/dessert for a party keep it hot in a crock pot, add the coffee and ice cream when you serve the , in these pretty heat proof glasses

I also brew the coffee ahead of time. If you don’t have a , NO problem use some strong .

I like simple, easy holiday drinks that taste delicious, come together quick, but have your friends thinking it took hours

If you try my recipes please leave me a comment or question. It’s my favorite part.
