Scoop To My Lou vanilla ice cream : 1 large scoop

How to Make Your Pistachio Cream Affogato

Brew the Espresso Base

Brew one pod of Pistachy-Ohhh! coffee. Strong, nutty, and slightly sweet — just like the espresso shot you’d order from a café in Rome.

Scoop + Swirl

Place a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream into a serving glass or cup.

Drizzle Peppertux Farms pistachio cream over the ice cream for a silky, nutty swirl.

Pour + Layer

Pour the hot brewed Pistachy-Ohhh! coffee over the ice cream slowly. Watch the magic happen — the ice cream starts melting into a creamy, coffee-pistachio symphony.

Top It Off

Sprinkle crushed pistachios on top for texture and nutty flavor.

Garnish with a cannoli perched on the side or resting on top like the pièce de résistance.

Variations: Take Your Pistachio Cream Affogato Further

  • Want it extra creamy? Add a small dollop of whipped cream before sprinkling pistachios.
  • Iced twist: Chill the coffee and blend with ice for a pistachio frappé affogato.
  • Chocolate flair: Shave dark chocolate over the top for a Nutella-inspired touch.
  • On-the-go: Layer ice cream and coffee in a travel cup and sprinkle crushed pistachios on top before sipping.

  • Feeling wild? Crumble the cannoli into the top of the affogato — every bite becomes crunchy, creamy, and caffeinated gelato heaven.
