Indulge in Decadence: Lavender Honey Affogato Recipe

Decadent Desserts: Lavender Honey Affogato

As the weather starts to cool down and fall approaches, I’m in the mood for a warm and cozy dessert that also has a touch of sophistication. That’s why today, I’m sharing my recipe for Lavender Honey Affogato. This delightful dessert combines the floral notes of lavender with the sweetness of honey, all poured over a scoop of rich vanilla ice cream. It’s the perfect balance of flavors to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

• fresh lavender buds (10g)
• honey (30ml)
• espresso (60ml)
• vanilla ice cream (100g)

Kitchen Tools:

• espresso machine
• small saucepan
• fine mesh strainer
• ice cream scoop

To start, heat the honey in a small saucepan over low heat until it becomes thin and runny. Add in the fresh lavender buds, and let them infuse into the honey for about 5 minutes. Strain out the lavender buds using a fine mesh strainer, and set the lavender-infused honey aside.

Next, brew a strong espresso using your espresso machine. Scoop a generous portion of vanilla ice cream into a serving glass or bowl. Carefully pour the hot espresso over the ice cream, allowing it to melt slightly and create a creamy, indulgent base.

Finally, drizzle the lavender-infused honey over the top of the affogato, letting the flavors mingle and meld together. The floral aroma of the lavender, the sweetness of the honey, and the rich, bold espresso combine to create a truly unique and decadent dessert experience.

One unusual tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top of the affogato before serving. The salt will enhance the flavors of the lavender, honey, and espresso, adding a subtle savory note that complements the sweetness of the dessert perfectly.

I hope you give this Lavender Honey Affogato a try and enjoy the luxurious blend of flavors. Feel free to experiment with different types of honey or ice cream to make this recipe your own. Happy indulging!
