- ½ cup chilled heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 pint Salted Caramel gelato or ice cream
- 6 savoiardi Italian crisp ladyfingers, coarsely crumbled
- 1 ½ cups freshly brewed espresso 10 ounces or 1 ¼ cups boiling water and
- 3 tablespoons instant-espresso powder
- 2 oz. Amaretto
- 1 oz. dark bittersweet chocolate
Instructions
- Whip the cream with the sugar and set aside.
- Divide the gelato or ice cream between small glasses.
- Pour hot espresso over gelato and add Amaretto if using.
- Break up the ladyfingers and scatter on top of the gelato.

Notes
- 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 !!
