Instantly, I made a mental note to recreate the same flavor at home.
That was more than two years back and since I am not much of an ice cream lover, that specific reminder faded away with time until few weeks back, when we purchased a shiny red ice cream machine. I have no space left in my tiny kitchen and here comes another appliance! In the past, several ice creams were whipped up in my kitchen without any distinct equipment but when I used the ice cream maker this time, I realized its importance. It was exciting for me to watch the creamy custard freeze to a perfect consistency. Now, whether I can find a permanent spot for the appliance in my kitchen counter or not, it will definitely be used a lot this summer.
This is my third tiramisu post on the blog, which I think enlightens my love for this flavor, loud and clear. The velvety mascarpone with the coffee always works for me. Even when my tummy is full, there is always a tiny secret space for a bite or two of this Italian deliciousness. Talking of Italian treats, not sure if you guys ever tried ‘Affogato’. It’s basically a shot of hot espresso topped with ice cream. I read about it long back but tried it for the first time with this ice cream. For my taste buds, which happen to often reject ice cream, it couldn’t get enough of Affogato. It was divine! The espresso cuts down the sweetness of the ice cream and the combination of cold with hot is absolutely heavenly. I just found my preferred way to enjoy ice cream.
Pour hot espresso, drizzle cocoa powder or shaved chocolate, either way tiramisu ice cream is an incredible treat, whether it brutal summer or cold winter.
