Affogato with Cold-Brewed Coffee is a sweet and indulgent dessert that originated in Italy. It is made by pouring a shot of hot espresso over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This recipe puts a twist on the classic affogato by using cold-brewed coffee instead of espresso. Cold-brewing coffee results in a smoother and less acidic coffee that is perfect for pairing with ice cream. The addition of shaved dark chocolate provides a rich, indulgent flavor that pairs perfectly with the coffee and ice cream. This dessert is perfect for entertaining or as a special treat for yourself!

5.	Pour cold-brewed coffee over the ice cream.

7.	Serve immediately and enjoy!
