Amaretto Cookies & Cream Affogato

This Amaretto Cookies & Cream Affogato combines creamy cookies and cream ice cream, espresso, and a splash of amaretto for an indulgent dessert that's equal parts coffee and sweet treat. For a caffeine-free option, substitute cooled chicory coffee and enjoy all the cozy flavors without the buzz.

For my wedding and other special gatherings, I serve this drink under the name Blacky Wants a Bite, a tribute to my childhood cat, Blacky, who always seemed interested in whatever food or drink was nearby. To learn the full story behind the drink and the cat-inspired marble menu it was featured on, check out my Cat Marble Cocktail Menu post.
