A traditional Affogato is made with vanilla gelato covered (drowned) with espresso.

dark roasts work best but a strong brew of any roast will work.
First, brew a cup of
espresso or any dark roast coffee. Next, scoop ice cream into a bowl or cup. Then, drizzle a small amount of hot coffee onto the ice cream, just enough to flavor the ice cream. It will melt slightly creating an amazing coffee/ice cream combo.
Keep the rest of the coffee handy to add more as needed.
