Preparation – 10 minutes
Make a simple chocolate sauce by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan at low heat. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and stir them into the warmed cream. Use a whisk to make a smooth sauce.
Use your coffee maker or a percolator to make 400 ml of espresso – or, if you prefer, make two stiff cups of coffee, preferably dark roast.
Finish the affogato with chocolate sauce – 10 minutes
Put a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream in four glasses or coffee cups, followed by a bit of the chocolate sauce.
Pour the hot espresso into the glasses, followed by some nougatine nuts as a topping. Add a cookie to finish the sweet treat. Enjoy!
