For an extra touch, sprinkle a few shaved chocolate flakes or a dusting of cocoa powder over the affogato. Experiment with different gelato flavors, such as hazelnut or pistachio, to create your own signature affogato. If you don't have an espresso machine, strong brewed coffee can be used as a substitute, though the flavor profile will be slightly different. Ensure the espresso is freshly brewed and hot to achieve the desired melting effect and flavor contrast.
