I have to admit that I have a serious sweet tooth.
Most of the time I keep it under wraps, but come the festive season I feel that it’s only necessary to indulge a little. And an affogato is my number one indulgence, just the ticket after that turkey starts making you sleepy – it’s my answer to Christmas pudding! To celebrate the festive season, Nespresso have launched a new Variation Grands Crus which have taken inspiration from the coffee traditions of Vienna and the aromas of three of Austria’s most famous pastries. Naturally, I took inspiration from these for a festive inspired coffee recipe – a brownie affogato.
