Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by selecting a small, elegant glass or dessert bowl for serving. Gather your serving spoon and a teaspoon for enjoying. Having everything prepared within easy reach will make the assembly process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 2
Carefully place two generous scoops of green tea ice cream into your chosen serving vessel. For the best presentation, allow the ice cream to soften slightly from its frozen state before scooping, ensuring a beautiful, smooth shape.
Step 3
Gently pour one shot of freshly brewed, warm espresso over the green tea ice cream. The immediate contrast between the hot espresso and cold ice cream creates a wonderful aroma and a delightful melting effect. Using espresso immediately after brewing preserves its optimal flavor.
Step 4
Now for the finishing touch! Drizzle your chocolate sauce over the ice cream and espresso in a decorative pattern, like a zigzag. Use the sauce sparingly to ensure the delicate green tea flavor and the coffee’s bitterness are complemented, not overpowered.
Step 5
Your exquisite Green Tea & Chocolate Affogato is now ready to be savored! Admire the beautiful interplay of colors and textures as the espresso melts the ice cream. Enjoy this delightful combination of refreshing green tea, bold espresso, and sweet chocolate – a sophisticated dessert you can easily create at home.
