Make the banana ice cream

Blend bananas in a food processor until smooth.

Add the sweetened condensed milk, espresso powder, cocoa powder, and sea salt to the bananas and blend until combined.

Pour into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 3 hours or up to overnight, until frozen and set.

Make the affogato

Put 2 large scoops of the banana mocha ice cream in a glass or bowl.

Pour a shot of espresso over the ice cream in the glass. For best results, let the espresso cool a bit before pouring it over the ice cream.

Enjoy with a spoon and some biscotti before drinking the rest of the espresso. *(This recipe makes enough for 2 affogato servings with 2 scoops of banana ice cream in each.)

Tips & Tricks (5)

Banana Freezing Technique 🍌
Freeze bananas when they're fully ripe and spotted for maximum sweetness and creamier ice cream texture. Peel and slice bananas before freezing to make blending easier.
Espresso Shot Precision ☕
Use freshly pulled espresso at exactly 160-170°F for the perfect temperature when pouring over the ice cream - this ensures optimal melting and flavor integration.
Cocoa Powder Secret 🍫
Toast the cocoa powder lightly in a dry pan for 30-45 seconds before adding to the recipe to unlock deeper, more complex chocolate notes in the banana mocha ice cream.
Instant Espresso Enhancement 🌟
Bloom the instant espresso powder in a small amount of hot water before incorporating to intensify its coffee flavor and prevent any grainy texture.
Sea Salt Elevation 🧂
Crush the sea salt between your fingers just before sprinkling to release its oils and create a more vibrant, flaky texture that enhances the dessert's overall flavor profile.
