Cacao Affogato

By Debbie Kotchey

A healthier twist on the classic Italian coffee dessert! Traditionally, an affogato is made by pouring hot espresso over creamy vanilla gelato. This version swaps the espresso for rich, chocolatey Miraculous Mushrooms® Cacao + 5, a coffee alternative infused with functional mushrooms, and pairs it with sugar-free vanilla ice cream. The result is a simple, indulgent treat that's creamy, comforting, and packed with flavor—perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up or a light dessert.
