Do You Eat or Drink Affogato?
Since affogato contains both ice cream and coffee, it can sometimes be unclear whether to eat it or drink it. If you're wondering how to consume affogato, we can say that both are possible. The hot espresso added to the cold ice cream begins to melt the top surface of the ice cream. You can eat the entire affogato by taking both ice cream and coffee with your spoon. If you add more coffee, it's also possible to drink the remaining coffee in the glass after eating the ice cream.
