Matcha Affogato
The Italian Classic with a Matcha Twist
Two scoops of Matcha ice cream, one hot espresso – that is all this little dessert moment needs. Our Matcha Affogatoflips the familiar Matcha version around: instead of pouring Matcha over vanilla ice cream, creamy Matcha ice cream meets a freshly brewed double espresso. Simple, intense and beautifully melty.
Why You’ll Love This Matcha Affogato
It is all about contrast. Cold, creamy Matcha ice cream brings delicate green tea notes and mellow sweetness, while freshly brewed espresso adds a warm, intense layer on top. With every spoonful, the two slowly melt into one another – from cold and creamy to soft and velvety. An effortless dessert that feels special without needing a long ingredient list.
Tips for the Perfect Affogato
Add the Matcha ice cream to the glass only when You are ready to serve so it stays as cold as possible. The espresso, on the other hand, should be freshly brewed and hot – that temperature contrast is what makes an Affogato so satisfying. Pour it slowly over the scoops and serve immediately. A chilled glass helps the ice cream hold its shape a little longer.
