How to make Affogato – fresh cream coffee

• 1

  Heat the fresh cream mixture

  You cut the vanilla pod in half, using a knife to scrape out the seeds inside the pod.

  Place a pot on the stove, add about 500ml of fresh cream, 120g of sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1/2 of the vanilla pod. Then use a flat whisk to stir and bring to a simmer over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves.

  Once cooked, remove the 1/2 vanilla pod, pour the fresh cream mixture into a food container, let it cool, and place it in the freezer for about 2 hours.

  Tip: If you don’t have a vanilla pod, you can substitute it with 1 – 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

  Whip the cream and freeze

  You place a glass bowl in the freezer to chill for about 2 hours.

  Tip: You can also freeze the beaters of the mixer along with it, this helps the cream whip faster and not melt in hot weather.

  After a period of freezing the fresh cream mixture, take it out and put it into a previously frozen glass bowl.

  Next, use an electric mixer at medium speed for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes fluffy as required.

  Put the whipped cream into a container, cover it, and put it in the freezer overnight or for at least 6 – 8 hours.
