I have a new favorite drink that I am totally hooked on. From the first time I saw Cinnamon Affogatos in the Desserts in Jars cookbook, I knew I had to try this delicacy. I think it was the Cinnamon Gelato that first attracted me. The taste of caramel and coffee is just heavenly and often makes me question if this is really a drink or is it a dessert. I think I like to refer to Cinnamon Affogatos as a drink because it sounds better. After all, I couldn’t possibly tell all my friends that I am enjoying a dessert every afternoon. Anyone that knows me knows, I am not a dessert lover…. but this drink is just out of this world. Try it and tell me what you think. I bet you will be hooked too.
- Ground espresso beans, enough for 4 shots
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for garnish
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 cups caramel or salted caramel gelato
- Stir together the ground espresso beans with the cinnamon and allspice. Brew the spiced espresso according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- Add ½ cup gelato to the bottoms of four 8-ounce jars. Pour the hot espresso over the gelato. Sprinkle with a bit of additional cinnamon and serve immediately.

June 23, 2013 at 1:04 pmOh my that just sounds amazing! I bet you could actually stir some hot coffee into it to make more of a coffee drink but the way you have it, I think I could drink 3!

June 23, 2013 at 1:50 pmI remember my first time combining coffee and ice cream. It was when I studied abroad and was so intrigued with it at the cafe on campus. Now I like to combine the two for morning coffee…er I mean evening dessert. I never really thought about playing around with the flavors. Usually it’s just chocolate or vanilla. I’ll have to try it with caramel or even dulce de leche!

Nancy @ gottagetbaked
June 25, 2013 at 2:39 pmI’ve been so excited to come and read your post, Isabel, because I LOVE affogatos and haven’t had one in over ten years. I don’t blame you for getting hooked on this: caramel, cinnamon and coffee is a killer combo. I love this!
Lori @ Foxes Love Lemons
June 25, 2013 at 5:57 pmI never knew what an affogato was until this post! I had heard it dozens of times on TV (probably Top Chef?), and now I finally know what they’re talking about 🙂 As a White Russian fanatic (combo dessert and drink, in my opinion), this is calling my name. You’re right – I would be HOOKED as soon as I tried it, I’m sure of it.
Camille @ Growing Up Gabel
June 25, 2013 at 9:53 pmSalted caramel, coffee and cinnamon?! Yum! Three of my favorite flavors!
