If you’ve been to an Italian gelateria (aka gelato shop), this hack probably reminds you of an affogato. An affogato is a coffee-based dessert that starts with a scoop of gelato that is “drowned” by adding a shot of hot espresso on top. But with this easier version, you can just pop a pod into your single-serve coffee maker and brew a fresh cup with whatever flavor of ice cream you desire. Buy It: Keurig K-Elite Single-Serve, $190, Bed Bath & Beyond If you don’t have a single-serve coffee maker, you can pour your fresh-brewed coffee from your regular machine on top of your ice cream. Try pouring French press coffee onto a scoop of French vanilla ice cream. Even if you usually drink your coffee black, this is a fun way to enjoy the occasional affogato for dessert. This is one cost-efficient way to enjoy a latte-like beverage without leaving the comfort of your own home. For a fancier treat, try going the Italian way and make this quick affogato trifle recipe for dessert tonight.
