Affogato style coffee

jelly

"Affogato" is a famous sweet in Italy and other countries. It is made by pouring espresso over vanilla ice cream or gelato. The "affogato style coffee jelly" is an adaptation of this dessert.


Bittersweet coffee jelly made from coffee with 100% Arabica beans is topped with crème chantilly whipped with fresh cream and granulated sugar. A soft custard-like sauce called anglaise sauce, made with milk, eggs, and granulated sugar, is poured over the top. The topping is a chocolate coating of coffee grounds and a puff called pearl crackan.

Tasting the actual

food The rich, sweet anglaise sauce is delicious! The coffee jelly is a nice and soft texture. You can enjoy the pleasant bitterness. The overall impression is sweet because of the presence of the crème chantilly and anglaise sauce. The aftertaste is also sweeter than the bitterness of the jelly.


Since it is an "affogado style," it may be a little different from regular affogado (......) if you are wondering if you can enjoy a similar taste. However, it is surely delicious as a sweet! If I may say so, you may not like the toppings. The crunchy texture is enjoyable, but it does not go well with the jelly, so I personally preferred it without it.


Seijo Ishii's "affogato style coffee jelly" offers a petit luxury feeling. I have also tried the regular " coffee jelly," which is a standard sweet, before. It would be fun to compare the two.
