Notes

Healthy Affogato Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE/MOUTHFEEL: The frozen yogurt should have the consistency of firm soft-serve. It will soften rapidly once the hot coffee is added, creating a creamy latte-like sauce at the bottom of the glass.
STABILIZER WARNING: Do not skip the pudding mix. Without it, the yogurt will freeze into a hard, icy block that won't melt gracefully when the coffee hits it.
THE MELLOWING EFFECT: If your yogurt balls are too tart, let the mixture sit in the fridge for 10 minutes before freezing to allow the pudding mix flavors to fully hydrate and sweeten the dairy.
PROFESSIONAL FINISH: Serve in a chilled glass to slow down the initial melt, and use a dark roast espresso to provide the best flavor contrast to the white chocolate yogurt base.
