There is something wonderful about the southern Hemisphere at Christmas time. Everything slows down to a standstill and life becomes about picnics, beaches, friends and [insert cold alcoholic drink of choice here]. Unfortunately, it also becomes too hot to have coffee after lunch.
Luckily, the Italians have a ready made solution which I discovered one summer on Norton St in Leichhardt: Affogato. Italian for drowned, it's simple to make with the right ingredients: espresso and good gelato (vanilla is traditional but I do like hazelnut or chocolate too). If you're planning to have a nanna nap after lunch, why not add a shot of liquer, e.g. Amaretto or Frangelico.
Serves 2
Ingredients
175mL -250mL good quality gelato or ice cream
2 shots espresso.
Place a scoop of ice cream in a teacup/bowl/glass.
Pour over espresso.
Drowned:
Enjoy.
