Topping Ideas
Here are a few delicious topping ideas that you can use:
- caramel & sea salt
- chopped peanut or pistachio
- crushed hard candies
- sprinkles
- cookies or Oreos
- and even orange pieces

Experiment with Ice Cream, Too
Now, even though vanilla ice cream is the perfect match for affogato, try experimenting with chocolate, strawberry, hazelnut, caramel and other flavors. But be aware that ice cream melts quickly, so make sure to serve the affogato immediately.
