Affogato is the perfect dessert for summer days, whether you're lounging on a sunbed somewhere along the Mediterranean, or just having some friends over for a barbeque.

Either way, this delicious dessert, made with only three ingredients, will certainly be a winner, although is not quite suitable for children, with both coffee and alcohol included.

Affogatos can be made with just about any liquor, including Frangelico, Amaretto, or Kahlua. Some fans of the dessert have also made it using Sambuca.

One option that may get overlooked is the whiskey cream liqueur, and that's where Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur come in with their delicious recipe.

Crafted from the richest dairy cream and premium triple-distilled Irish whiskey, Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur embodies the essence of Ireland, but also makes for a great addition to this Italian dessert.
