Affogato

Charlie Farrant

Recipe by: Charlie Farrant | Student Dietitian and Running Blogger

Affogato is traditionally a vanilla ice cream drowned in coffee – and it’s the perfect mix between a post-dinner coffee and dessert. We’ve used frozen yoghurt to lower the fat and sugar in our version. Use decaf coffee if you’re enjoying this dessert in the evening and find it difficult to sleep after caffeine.

Ingredients

40g frozen cherries, slightly thawed
1 x 50g ball low-fat vanilla, or natural-flavoured frozen yoghurt
50ml espresso coffee

Method

Cut the cherries into quarters and add to a small bowl.
Scoop a ball of frozen yoghurt onto the cherries and pour over the espresso.
Eat immediately!

Chill or freeze the bowl before serving to keep the yoghurt frozen for longer
