    BM# 73: Week 1/ Day 3
    Theme: Valentine's Day recipes
    Dish: Hot Chocolate Affogato

    After 2 non-chocolate Valentine's day treats (Oat Pancakes and Pizza pinwheels), I thought it would be unfair to end this week's marathon without a chocolate treat. So today I have an easy to make dessert called Hot Chocolate Affogato.
    Affogato with Hot ChocolateAffogato is an Italian coffee-based dessert. Affogato literally means 'drowned' in Italian. Traditionally it is made with by pouring a shot of hot espresso on a scoop of vanilla ice cream or gelato -- in other words drowning the ice cream. It can be considered a dessert or a drink or both.

    This recipe is from Giada's cooking show on Food Network. Unlike the traditional coffee version, this one is made with hot chocolate and is kid friendly. I knew my kids would love it the minute I saw her make it on the show.Affogato with Hot ChocolateAffogato with Hot Chocolate The only time consuming part of this recipe is making the hot chocolate which really takes about 10~15 minutes. Then all you have to do is scoop the vanilla ice cream into serving cups or glasses and pour the hot chocolate over it. Then you can top the whole thing with chocolate wafer cookies or candy canes.Affogato with Hot ChocolateIt is a great dessert/ drink to make for kid's parties. Since it doesn't take that long to put together, you can make and serve it right away. My kids thoroughly enjoyed this and I can see myself making it many more times.Affogato with Hot Chocolate
