What Is an Affogato?
Traditionally, an affogato is a scoop of vanilla gelato “drowned” in a shot of hot espresso. The contrast of hot and cold, creamy and bitter, is what makes it so special. Our non-caffeinated take turns this delicious classic into a kid and non-caffeinated-adult friendly version. Plus, Dandy Blend brings the same rich flavor with zero caffeine and a whole lot more comfort.
How to Make Affogato Baked Cookie Cups with Dandy Blend
This isn’t just any affogato. We’ve taken the concept up a notch by serving it in edible baked cookie cups—yes, you can eat the bowl (win-win). You’ll start by baking your cookie cups using a muffin tin, small ramekin, or other oven-friendly bowl. Once baked, you can fill them with your favorite dairy-free or traditional vanilla ice cream. Finally, pour over a warm shot of Dandy Blend for that signature affogato finish.
Not only is this recipe fun to make and serve, but it’s also a great way to impress guests or enjoy a little self-care moment. Plus, it’s easy to customize. You can top it with whipped cream, use a peanut butter cookie base, or even drizzle some chocolate for a decadent finish.
