- Optional: Matcha powder for dusting
- Optional: Amaretti biscuits or cantuccini to serve with it

2. pour the vanilla ice cream into a small bowl or glass straight from the freezer.
3 Pour the hot matcha shot immediately over the ice cream.

The experience
A Matcha Affogato is neither stirred nor waited for. You dip the spoon through the hot matcha into the cold ice cream and take both at the same time. The ice cream melts in the warmth of the matcha, the matcha cools in the ice cream. That is the experience.
Tips
Ice cream flavor: Vanilla is the classic. Coconut ice cream for a vegan version is also excellent.
More intense: 3g matcha for a stronger contrast to the sweet ice cream.
