Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Semifreddo
2 1/2 cups whole milk
3 ounces very strong espresso
6 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups heavy cream
8 cups strong decaffeinated coffee, cooled
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • In a 3-quart saucepan bring the milk to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and add the espresso.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the yolks until pale yellow. Gradually add the sugar and beat until light yellow ribbons form when the beaters are lifted. Stir in half of the hot milk, then stir in the remaining milk. Cook over low heat without boiling until the mixture coats the back of a spoon thickly and sets slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and chill for 1/2 hour.
  • Whip 1 1/2 cups of the cream to stiff peaks and fold into the custard mixture. Transfer to an ice cream machine and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. (The semifreddo can be made up to 2 weeks in advance).
  • Whip the remaining 1/2 cup cream to soft peaks. Place 1 scoop of semifreddo in each of eight tall glasses. Pour 1 cup of cooled coffee over each scoop, dollop with whipped cream, and dust with cocoa.

The affogato was good, but the ice cream was a little icy. I think I'll let it thaw for a bit next time before pouring the coffee over it.

This affogato is a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm going to try making this affogato with different flavors of ice cream. I think it would be delicious with mint or pistachio ice cream.

I used chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla and it was amazing! I highly recommend trying this variation.

I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I really enjoyed this affogato. The coffee flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

This affogato was the perfect pick-me-up! The coffee was bold and flavorful, and the ice cream was rich and creamy. The two flavors complemented each other perfectly.
