Where Coffee Meets Dessert!
Bring together two Italian favourites with this indulgent Tiramisu Affogato.
Layers of creamy tiramisu are paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and finished with a pour of freshly brewed Roast 440 House Blend coffee.
Rich, smooth and full of coffee flavour, it delivers the perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness.
Simple to assemble yet impressive to serve, it’s an ideal dessert for cafés, restaurants and hotels looking to tap into the growing demand for coffee inspired treats and premium dessert experiences.
Method
1. Prepare the coffee
Grind the Roast 440 House Blend beans and prepare a strong espresso. Keep the coffee hot and freshly brewed.
2. Add the ice cream
Place two generous scoops of Chefs Selections Vanilla Ice Cream, or White Vanilla Ice Cream, into a chilled glass or dessert dish.
3. Add the sponge fingers
Arrange the sponge fingers upright or leaning against the ice cream, creating an attractive finish and adding texture to the dessert.
4. Pour over the espresso
Just before serving, pour the hot espresso over the vanilla ice cream. Allow it to melt slightly, creating a rich, creamy coffee sauce around the ice cream.
5. Finish with cocoa (optional)
If using, lightly dust the top with Chefs Selections Cocoa Powder for a classic tiramisu finish.
Serve immediately
Serve while the espresso is hot and the ice cream is beginning to melt, with the sponge fingers providing a crisp contrast to the creamy affogato.
Serving suggestion
For an elevated presentation, serve in a clear glass so the layers of sponge finger, vanilla ice cream and espresso are visible. Add a final dusting of cocoa powder just before serving.
