I can single-handedly blame affogatos for the severity of my caffeine addiction as a young adult, for without them, I probably never would have gotten into espresso.
In this version, we’ve swapped out espresso for a hot matcha shot to make this bright and earthy green affogato topped with matcha KitKats and Pocky.
While matcha still has caffeine, my fellow coffee drinkers know the effects are much more minimal, which makes this drink a perfect option for an afternoon pick-me-up.
Whisk matcha powder and hot water in a small bowl until well combined.
Scoop ice cream into a serving bowl.
Pour hot matcha over the ice cream and add edible garnishes.
Serve immediately.

An affogato is an Italian dessert made with two main ingredients: vanilla ice cream or gelato and espresso.
To prepare it, you simply pour a shot of espresso directly over top of a scoop of ice cream or gelato, served in a small cup or glass with a spoon.
We substitute the espresso for matcha for a modern twist on the classic, making for a delicious matcha affogato afternoon pick-me-up!
A caffeinated dessert pick-me-up This matcha affogato is a delicious dessert, with an added boost of energy!
Just the single teaspoon of matcha used in this recipe contains around 70 mg of caffeine.
The perfect amount of caffeine to wake you up without overdoing it!
The same way coffee is often paired with desserts, matcha can too be paired with a variety of flavors.
The slightly bitter, grassy taste of matcha balances out the sweetness of desserts, making the flavors more complex and enjoyable.
According to Reader's Digest, “caffeine works by blocking nerve cell membrane receptors”.
This not only helps combat tiredness, but also helps to suppress your appetite, making it easier to enjoy a small dessert without feeling overly full.

¿Qué es un affogato?.
Un affogato es un postre clásico italiano tradicionalmente hecho con helado de vainilla y un shot de espresso.
El término affogato se traduce como “ahogado” en italiano, refiriéndose al espresso caliente que se vierte sobre el helado frío y lo “ahoga”.
Aunque este es un postre clásico por una razón, nos gusta romper con la tradición, de la manera más deliciosa posible.
¿Por qué elegir matcha?.
Un affogato de matcha es una forma refrescante de reimagnar este clásico postre.
Usar polvo de matcha en lugar de espresso puede ser perfecto para aquellos que prefieren una opción de cafeína más suave (especialmente por la noche) o que simplemente no disfrutan del sabor del café.
El matcha proporciona un impulso de energía tranquila gracias a su contenido de l-teanina, que promueve una sensación de calma y relajación.
Su sabor terroso y umami complementa la dulzura cremosa del helado de vainilla sin ser demasiado intenso como el espresso.
El affogato de matcha también es visualmente impresionante y hace un hermoso postre para impresionar a los invitados.
En general, un affogato de matcha es una interpretación fresca y sabrosa de un clásico intemporal.
