7 Reviews of Affogato Mocha

From: ~Rita~

On Mar 7, 2006

I made one serving for myself. I made it with vanilla and chocolate ice cream. I loved the expresso and chocolate with the ice cream but found the rum a bit much. I`m thinking a nut, chocolate or coffee liquour next time around. This you do start with a spoon and end up drinking. Thanks for a great dessert/drink!

    DH had to hit me over the head to bring me to my senses after the first spoonful - DIVINE!!! Everyone must try this breeze of a recipe - especially suited for 'special' occasions and 'adult' dinner parties. I did use slightly less rum (did not actually measure, but I know it was less than 8 tablespoonfuls) as I don't want a too pronounced alcoholic flavour and much prefer the coffee/chocolate combo. The hot coffee starts to melt the ice cream on impact and you are left with a most delightful concoction in your bowl. Thank you!

    I fixed this for DH for dessert tonight as a special treat. It IS a special treat. I only made two servings, but the extras will keep just fine. I used Ben and Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch, and some aerosol whipped cream. What a truly wonderful combinstion of flavors. Thank you so much, Bluemoon.

    Totally delicious! My batteries are dead in my camera, so no photo, but this is just fabulous! Of course I love everything in it, but I think it would appeal to anyone that likes chocolate. It was perfect, since we jumped from being in the 30's to being in the 70's in the last two days...I needed an ice cream dessert! Made for Everyday is a Holiday tag.

    Whoa, YUM! I scaled it down for myself, went without the rum (I'm not a fan. Maybe some Bailey's..) and instead of the chopped chocolate I made a choc sauce to pour over the top, using hot choc powder & a tiny bit of water. We only really buy ice cream when the good stuff is on special, then it's gone by the time I think to have an affogato...I'll be remembering next time, that's for sure!

    Who'd've thunk that chocolate ice cream could be so much improved upon? It was delicious! I used instant espresso and skipped the rum, and the ice cream I used was a very dark, dense chocolate ice cream--almost like a gelato. It was so good--we loved it! Thanks for posting, bluemoon! Made for Holiday Tag game.
