☕ Coffee Selection: Win Win Signature Blend

For this recipe, we recommend using the Win Win Signature Blend. This blend offers a balanced profile that complements the sweetness of amaretto and the creaminess of gelato, enhancing the overall flavor of the affogato.

🍨 Ingredients

• 1 scoop of high-quality vanilla gelato or ice cream

• 1 shot (1 oz) of freshly brewed espresso using Win Win Signature Blend

• 1 oz of Amaretto liqueur

• Optional garnishes:

  • Crushed amaretti cookies

  • Toasted almond slivers

  • Dark chocolate shavings

🛠️ Equipment

• Espresso machine or moka pot

• Serving glass or small bowl

• Spoon

🧑‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Glass: Place a scoop of vanilla gelato into your serving glass. For an authentic touch, create a small well in the center of the gelato to cradle the espresso.

2. Brew the Espresso: Brew a fresh shot of espresso using the Win Win Signature Blend. The robust flavors of this blend will provide a perfect counterbalance to the sweet amaretto.

3. Add the Amaretto: Pour 1 oz of Amaretto liqueur over the gelato, allowing it to infuse the dessert with its almond sweetness.

4. Pour the Espresso: Immediately pour the hot espresso over the gelato and amaretto. The heat will slightly melt the gelato, creating a delightful blend of flavors and temperatures.

5. Garnish and Serve: Top with your choice of crushed amaretti cookies, toasted almond slivers, or dark chocolate shavings for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately with a spoon.
