Hazelnut Affogato is a delightful Italian dessert that combines the rich flavors of espresso coffee with the sweetness and creaminess of gelato, specifically hazelnut-flavored gelato in this variation. It is served as a quick and easy treat, typically as a dessert or a coffee break indulgence.
The affogato originates from Italy, where 'affogato' means 'drowned' in Italian. It describes the process of pouring hot espresso over a scoop of gelato, causing it to melt slightly and blend with the coffee.
The taste of Hazelnut Affogato is a harmonious blend of sweet, creamy, nutty, and slightly bitter flavors from the espresso. The hazelnut gelato adds a rich, nutty profile to the classic affogato.
