This sugar-free Affogato is a great way to serve at any dinner party. The kids can have a scoop of ice cream while the grown ups enjoy both ice cream and a cup of coffee in one delicious keto dessert. If you'r planning to serve this after dinner, you can use decaf coffee.

Ingredients (makes 1 serving)
Creamy vanilla ice cream:
- 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream or coconut cream (600 ml/ 20.3 fl oz)
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla powder or 1 tbsp sugar-free vanilla extract
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup granulated Allulose, I used 1/3 cup (67 g/ 2.4 oz)
Affogato:
- 2 to 3 small scoops of Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream
- single or double espresso
Instructions
- If you don't have any keto ice cream in the freezer, prepare the vanilla ice cream. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Reserve the egg whites for another recipe — you will only need the yolks.
- Whisk it all, then gently heat up over a medium heat to cook the egg yolks. Do not boil, just enough to cook enough until the mixture starts thickening (this will take 5-10 minutes). Mix at all times to prevent the custard from sticking to the bottom.
- Pour into the container of your ice cream maker and let it cool down to room temperature. You can place the container in a bowl filled with ice water to cool it down quickly, in just 5-10 minutes.
- Add to ice cream maker and churn until soft-serve consistency (this will take 45-60 minutes).
- Spoon into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 30 minutes before serving or until ready to eat.
- Soften out of the freezer for a few minutes before scooping. Store, covered, in the freezer for up to two months.
- When ready to make the Affogato, prepare coffee to your liking (single or double espresso, regular or decaf). Add scoops of vanilla ice cream (2 to 3 small scoops per serving). Enjoy!
