Salted Caramel Affogatos
Salted Caramel Affogatos are my new go-to after dinner sweet treat! Salted caramel ice cream topped with coffee for an easy, delicious dessert!
Have you guys heard of Affogatos? Well, if not, we’re about to change that! Basically it’s espresso poured over your favorite frozen dessert. I know, right? How have I never tried this before??
For my fellow coffee lovers with a huge sweet tooth, Salted Caramel Affogatos are pretty much a dream come true. They only require two ingredients. They combine pretty much the best two ingredients on Earth. When ice cream and your favorite brewed coffee collide, VERY good things happen.
I know you guys are going to enjoy this coffee dessert so much! It’s:
Super creamy
Rich
Simple
Quick
And SO delicious!
I also made an Affogato with chocolate ice cream. It was so super duper chocolatey delicious. If chocolate desserts are your favorite, I highly recommend that particular flavor when creating your Affogato.
Salted Caramel Affogatos
Ingredients
- 1 shot (30 ml/1 oz) hot espresso, or very strong-brewed coffee
- 1 large scoop (or 2 smaller scoops) ice cream or gelato, salted caramel, vanilla or any favorite flavor
- 1 tablespoon liquor like frangelico, amaretto, Kahlua, sambuca, rum or Bailey’s, optional
Instructions
- Brew the espresso.
- While the espresso is brewing, scoop out your desired amount of ice cream or gelato into a small suitable glass or bowl. A medium, wide glass works best, so you can easily eat out of it.
- Pour the hot espresso then liquor (if using) over the ice cream. Enjoy immediately!

Honestly, it wasn’t until I started reading some blog posts that I learned about Afogatto. As a long-time coffee lover, I’m horrified that I didn’t know about this sooner. So much yumminess! #client
You and me both! Ha!
Afogatto is one of my favourite dessets in a long time because I love both coffee and ice cream. Over summer time, I’ll choose a good ice cream and pour the espresso on top of it. I normally use vanilla ice cream and the vanillo from nespresso. Works brilliantly
It really is the perfect summer treat!
