As summer approaches, ice cream becomes a popular dessert.  An after dinner stroll with ice cream on a warm night can inspire relaxation and conversation.  While ice cream can seem a bit “childish,” I have a simple dessert idea people of all ages can appreciate.  In fact, it’s a perfect way to combine dessert and coffee in one elegant, refreshing, and delicious serving.

Vanilla Affogato:

1-2 thin slices of pound cake, angel food cake, or coffee cake
1 scoop of vanilla ice cream
1 cup of coffee, or 2 shots of espresso

Instructions:
Put the slice of cake into a bowl.  Scoop the ice cream and place on top of the cake.  Pour coffee or espresso over the ice cream.  Viola!  Simple but delicious!
