I made a b-line for the gelato stand as soon as we hit Italy. In retrospect, I probably should’ve gone for one of the exclusive dishes, but this Espresso Gelato “Affogato” was worth it! From the not so hidden Mickey presentation to the perfect mix of hot, cold, creamy, and crunchy, this dessert had it all.
The Espresso Gelato “Affogato” is described as “Italian Espresso poured over Fior Di Latte Gelato, topped with chocolate coffee beans.” What they don’t mention is the two almond cookies and wafer straw that come with it as well. This dessert is by far my absolute favorite in the park. The mix of espresso, gelato, almond cookies, and chocolate come together to create the perfect dessert that’s over too soon.
