Inspired by the historical event, the Berlin Airlift, this dessert is a tribute to the unity and resilience of the human spirit. The irresistible combination of robust espresso and velvety vanilla ice cream, adorned with a drizzle of rich chocolate syrup and a cloud of whipped cream, is a delightful treat for the senses. The final dusting of cocoa powder serves as a reminder of the snowy winters in Berlin, making this dessert not just delicious, but also meaningful.

Servings: 2

Ingredients

Cocoa powder
1 tablespoon, for dusting
Whipped cream
1/4 cup
Chocolate syrup
2 tablespoons
Vanilla ice cream
2 scoops
Espresso
2 shots

Instructions

  1. Begin by brewing 2 shots of your favorite espresso. Allow it to cool slightly while you prepare the other components of the dessert.
  2. Into your serving glasses, scoop 2 generous scoops of creamy vanilla ice cream.
  3. Pour the slightly cooled espresso over the ice cream, allowing it to partially melt and create a pool of deliciousness at the bottom of the glass.
  4. Drizzle your desired amount of chocolate syrup over the top of the espresso-soaked ice cream. This will provide a delightful contrast to the bitter espresso and sweet ice cream.
  5. Add a dollop of whipped cream on top, creating a fluffy cloud that will melt into the warm espresso.
  6. For a finishing touch, dust the top with a light sprinkling of cocoa powder. This not only adds another layer of flavor but also makes the dessert visually appealing.
  7. Serve your Berlin Airlift Affogato immediately and watch as the layers combine and create a mesmerizing dessert experience. Enjoy!
