What Is an Affogato?

Affogato is a classic Italian dessert made by pouring a hot shot of espresso over vanilla ice cream.

The contrast between hot coffee and cold ice cream creates a delicious combination of melting cream, rich espresso, and silky texture.

Our Pistachio Affogato takes it one step further by adding Remarkable Cream Pistachio Cream Liqueur for an extra layer of roasted pistachio flavour, fresh New Zealand cream, and smooth vanilla notes.

Why Pistachio and Coffee Work So Well Together

Pistachio and coffee have become one of the fastest-growing flavour combinations in cafés, desserts, and premium beverages worldwide.

The roasted nutty flavour of pistachio naturally complements espresso, while cream softens the bitterness and creates a luxurious mouthfeel.

It's the same reason Pistachio Lattes, Pistachio Cold Foam Coffees, Pistachio Gelato, and Pistachio Cheesecakes have become so popular.

This Pistachio Affogato combines all of those flavours in a single dessert.

Some desserts require hours in the kitchen.

This one takes less than two minutes.

A scoop of ice cream.

A shot of espresso.

The result is a dessert that feels elegant enough for entertaining but simple enough for a quiet night at home.
