Whipped Honey Coffee Affogato
- 10 min
- Serves 2
- 5 ingredients
10 minutes to prep. A silky, sweet affogato where airy honey whipped with instant coffee creates a hot, creamy sauce that drizzles over vanilla ice cream. The contrast of warm, coffee‑honey foam and cold ice cream makes a luxurious, quick dessert.

Method
Place 150 g of runny honey in a medium mixing bowl.
Using an electric whisk, beat the honey on medium speed for about 2 minutes until it begins to become glossy.
Continue whisking for an additional 3 minutes, or until the honey thickens and forms soft peaks; set aside.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The honey holds soft peaks. Set it aside once the texture thickens.
In a small cup, dissolve 20 g of instant coffee in 50 ml of hot water, stirring until fully dissolved.
Slowly pour the coffee‑water mixture into the whipped honey while the whisk is still running, whisking continuously.
Whisk the combined mixture for another 5–10 minutes until it thickens further and holds a light, airy texture.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The coffee honey is light and airy and holds its shape. Pour the coffee in gradually while whisking.
Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness if desired; the honey should remain the dominant flavor.
If using, gently fold in a handful of dark chocolate shavings to add a subtle bitter note.
Scoop two generous portions (about 2 scoops each) of vanilla ice cream into serving glasses or bowls.
Immediately pour the warm honey‑coffee foam over the ice cream, allowing it to melt slightly and create a silky sauce.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The foam melts slightly into a silky sauce over the ice cream. Pour and serve straight away.
Serve the affogato right away, optionally garnishing with extra chocolate shavings or a drizzle of honey.
