An affogato (Italian, "drowned") is a coffee-based beverage or dessert. "Affogato style", which refers to the act of topping a drink or dessert with espresso, may also incorporate caramel sauce or chocolate sauce.
A "cafe affogato" is sometimes referred to as a "cold shower".[1]
An "affogato di gelato" is usually vanilla bean gelato topped with espresso. Alternately, a bitter chocolate gelato (cioccolato) is an ideal match to espresso.
