This Easy Italian Dessert Is Just Two Ingredients and Everything We Want Right Now

Send up the white smoke, chime the bells: I’ve officially elected the dessert of the summer. Affogato, the two-ingredient Italian finale to a meal, couldn’t be simpler or more chic. Espresso and gelato, è tutto.

When only two ingredients are in play, make them outstanding: espresso with a nice head of crema and, the ideal here, gelato al fior di latte—just the very best milk and cream, sweetened, no need for any flavoring. If you can buy it at your local gelato shop, do; if not, use a very good vanilla ice cream.
