Chocolate Caramel Affogato: Elegant and Easy Fall Dessert

You may be wondering why I consider ice cream a Fall dish. I live in inland Southern California, it was 115F on Labor Day this year. We have our annual block party in the cul-de-sac on Halloween and only one year were we bundled up around the fire pit. We don't really cool off until mid-Fall, and even then, this dessert is delicious.

This Chocolate Caramel Affogato is delightfully simple to make, swirl caramel sauce in a glass, add some good quality chocolate ice cream then pour a little more caramel sauce on top and then a hot shot of espresso (or two). And enjoy!

You do not need an espresso maker to make this. I use instant espresso powder and boiling water. It is the hot/cold dichotomy that makes affogato special.

Torani

The luscious caramel sauce for this was provided by Torani. They make delightful sauces and syrups that enhance your drinks and desserts.

I use Torani syrups frequently (their salted caramel syrup is a regular addition to my morning coffee). I love the taste and quality. I also appreciate what Torani stands for as a company. They are a certified B Corporation, a company dedicated to balancing purpose and profit.
