Affogato is the ultimate caffeinated treat. Creamy, indulgent, with a bitter edge and a beautiful contrast of both flavors and temperatures, the classic Italian dessert just oozes sophistication. It can be enjoyed at any time of day - some Italians have affogato as an afternoon pick-me-up, others order it after heavy meals. It's even said to have been a popular breakfast item in the Piedmont region, which honestly makes us want to move there immediately.
