Little Juniper Dark Side Affogato

Indulge in the dark and delightful world of the Dark Side Coffee Liqueur Affogato, a simple yet sophisticated dessert that's sure to impress.

This Dark Side culinary affair that promises a moment of instant bliss.

Ingredients

  • Two scoops of vanilla ice cream
  • A shot of Dark Side Coffee Liqueur
  • Your choice of chocolate topping, nuts, or biscuits, crushed and sprinkled on top for crunch

Directions

  1. Prepare the Glass: Choose a stylish coupe glass or a simple dessert bowl to serve your Dark Side Affogato. The presentation adds to the experience!

  2. Add the Ice Cream: Place two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into the glass or bowl. The creamy texture of the ice cream provides a perfect base for the liqueur.

  3. Pour the Liqueur: Slowly pour a cup of Dark Side Coffee Liqueur over the ice cream. The liqueur will start to melt the ice cream slightly, creating a luscious blend of flavours and textures.

  4. Garnish: Top your Affogato with your favourite garnish. Chocolate topping, crushed nuts, or biscuits add a delightful crunch that complements the smoothness of the ice cream and the boldness of the liqueur.

  5. Serve Immediately: The Affogato is best enjoyed right away, while the ice cream is still firm but beginning to melt into the liqueur.

Tips for the Perfect Affogato

  • Chill the Glass: For an extra touch of luxury, chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before serving. This helps keep the ice cream from melting too quickly.
  • Experiment with Toppings: Try different toppings to find your favourite combination. Shaved dark chocolate, toasted hazelnuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt can all add unique flavours and textures.
  • Adjust the Liqueur: If you prefer a stronger coffee flavour, add a bit more liqueur. For a lighter taste, reduce the amount slightly.
Enjoy this decadent dessert as a special treat after dinner, or impress your guests at your next gathering with the effortless elegance of a Dark Side Coffee Liqueur Affogato.
