Millionaires Mocha Affogato

A quick affogato: a thick, warm Millionaires Mocha syrup poured over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, finished with caramel.

Millionaires Mocha Affogato

An affogato is the simplest grown up dessert there is: something hot and Coffee-ish poured over cold vanilla ice cream. Here a Millionaires Mocha sachet does the job of the espresso. Whisk it into a thick syrup with just a splash of hot water, pour it over a scoop of good vanilla, and the warm coffee caramel chocolate melts into the cold cream as you eat.

You'll need

  • 1 Costa Millionaires Mocha sachet (23g)
  • 60ml freshly drawn water, brought to a rolling boil then left for 1 minute to drop to about 90C
  • 60g scoop of full fat vanilla bean ice cream
  • 1 teaspoon of caramel sauce, for the drizzle
  • 3 whole roasted coffee beans, gently crushed, for the rim
  • 1 piece of dark chocolate covered honeycomb (about 10g), for the saucer
  • 1 chilled coupe glass
  • 1 long dessert spoon
  • 1 small heatproof mug
  • 1 small balloon whisk

Method

  1. Chill a coupe or small bowl in the freezer, and take the ice cream out a couple of minutes early to soften slightly.
  2. Empty the sachet into a mug and whisk it with 60ml of hot water (around 90C) into a thick, glossy syrup.
  3. Put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the chilled coupe.
  4. Pour the warm syrup straight over the scoop so it starts to melt the cream.
  5. Finish with a zigzag of caramel and a scatter of crushed coffee beans, with a piece of chocolate honeycomb on the side if you fancy some crunch.
  6. Eat straight away, saving the pool of melted cream and syrup at the bottom for last.
What you'll end up with: A scoop of vanilla collapsing under a warm, dark mocha syrup, with caramel and a little coffee crunch on top. Rich, sweet and gone in a few spoonfuls.
