Try Something New for 2010! Affogato

January is a month usually reserved for resolutions to help kick off a new year. Why not make one of those resolutions to try something new.

Have you ever tried an Affogato? An Affogato translated from Italian means “drowned in coffee”. We don’t want to drown you in coffee but imagine this… it’s a cold, perhaps rainy day, and you want a treat so you travel to your favourite gelato shop, Amato of course, and allow the staff to combine the rich creamy taste of gelato with a hot shot of espresso. Is there anything better than satisfying a craving for a sweet treat and adding warmth with a hot shot of espresso?

 Try it once and you will be back for more! You can even make this dessert at home and wow your guests. Brew some of your favourite coffee but make it extra strong as you only need a small amount then scoop your favourite flavour of Mario’s Gelati into a dish and pour the coffee over top. We recommend vanilla bean but feel free to experiment with some of our other flavours like chocolate or if you are a real coffee lover try our espresso flake gelato. Delizioso!!

Available at all of our retail locations
