Its simple preparation makes it an ideal dessert when you are stuck for time or just don't feel like spending hours in the kitchen. At the summer dinner table, the coffee affogato often puts in an appearance at the end of the meal: a dessert which defies the passing of time and is always valid, quick to make and always much appreciated, thanks to the perfect mix of flavors and consistencies.

Steps to make Coffee Affogato:
- Coffee Jelly
- Prepare a square cake pan or casserole dish.
- Pour the cold water into the gelatin powder and stir well. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
- Brew the hot coffee. You can make it quite thick to get a stronger coffee flavour.
- Add the sugar to the hot coffee and stir.
- Microwave the gelatin mixture to melt. Pour the melted gelatin into the hot coffee solution and stir well.
- Pour the coffee solution into the cake pan and keep in the fridge until solid.
- Cut into cubes.
- Assembly
- Place a scoop each of the vanilla ice cream and the caramel ice cream in the dish.
- Add the cubed coffee jelly.
- Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the ice cream.
- Decorate as you like.
- Brew the espresso (or strong coffee).
- Pour the espresso over the ice cream.
Liqueur (optional) - I love to add a splash of liqueur such as Nocino or Frangelico(nut liqueur), a coffee-based liqueur or Cointreau. Toppins - If you want to add a bit of crunchy texture then chopped hazelnuts are delicious on top, you. There are only two ingredients (gelato, espresso), but the combination is a brilliant play on temperature and texture: The hot, bitter espresso melts the gelato and creates a café crème-colored. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate the whipped cream.
