- I love Salted Caramel gelato in this dessert, but vanilla, chocolate, or any combination of those will work beautifully.
- I used Amaretto, but you could easily use Kahlua - Cointreau with dark chocolate is also a great combo as well. Just let your own tastes be your guide.
- Serve extra ladyfingers with the affogado's !!
