The Brazilian Float is a perfect indulgence for coffee and chocolate lovers. Created in Brazil, it's a twist on the classic affogato, which traditionally only includes vanilla ice cream and espresso. This decadent dessert-like drink combines the flavors of chocolate milk and strong black coffee and is topped with a scoop of creamy vanilla or chocolate ice cream. It is especially enjoyable on cold winter days, where a warm and comforting drink is appreciated. With its creamy and rich flavor, the Brazilian Float makes for a perfect after-dinner treat or an afternoon indulgence with friends.

Instructions

1.	In a saucepan, heat milk and semisweet chocolate over medium heat. Whisk until chocolate is melted and well combined with the milk.
2.	Add sugar to the milk and chocolate mixture. Bring to a boil and stir occasionally until sugar dissolves.
3.	Prepare 2 cups of strong black coffee and scoop 1 or 2 scoops of either vanilla or chocolate ice cream into serving glasses.
4.	Pour the hot chocolate milk into the glasses, making sure to evenly distribute the mixture.
5.	Fill the rest of the glass with hot black coffee.
6.	Serve and enjoy!
