Today, I’m sharing the super simple recipe for this delicious dessert with you… If you’re into coffee (decaf or caffeinated), this is your thing! I’m calling it the LYRE’S AFFOGATO, inspired by the Italian coffee-based dessert. Today’s version is made with the amazing non-alcoholic coffee liquor from Lyre’s instead of cold espresso though, and what a treat this is…
First of all, what is Lyre’s?
Lyre´s is an Australian company that has an exquisite range of lovingly crafted non-alcoholic spirits. Almost every classic alcoholic product you can imagine is mimicked and represented in their range: Dry London Spirit (Gin), American Malt (Bourbon Malt), Aperitif Rosso (Red Vermouth), Coffee Originale (Coffee Liquor), Spiced Cane Spirit (Spiced Rum), Agave Reserva Spirit (Tequila), White Cane Spirit (White Rum), Amaretti (Amaretto Liquor), Aperitif Dry (Dry Vermouth), Dark Cane Spirit (Dark Rum), Orange Sec (Triple Sec), Absinthe (Absinthe), Pink London Spirit (Pink Gin), Agave Blanco Spirit (Tequila), Italian Orange (Campari), Traditional Reserve (Malt Whisky) & Italian Spritz (Aperol). This complete range of 17 different products means that you can now make ANY OF YOUR FAVOURITE COCKTAILS without getting the headache in the morning!!
Fun fact: The name Lyre´s is based on Lyrebirds – Lyrebirds are most well-known for their impressive ability to mimic sounds. Mimic being the keyword here 😉
Back to today’s concoction: The Lyre’s Affogato!
What do you need?
Only these three ingredients:
50ml of Coffee Originale from Lyre’s
Vanilla & Coffee Ice Cream
Walnut and Almond pieces
How do you make it?
1. You start by scooping the ice cream (3 scoops total) into a glass or cup of your choice
2. Then you add 50ml of the alcohol-free coffee liquor
3. You sprinkle some of your favorite nuts pieces on top
And you’re all set, NJOY!!
(This recipe is alcohol- and caffeine-free, so it is suitable for most)
Note: If you prefer, you can exchange the type of nuts to your liking and add chocolate sprinkles and/or whipped cream on top.
