Edna’s Affogato
Armenian coffee affogato? Absolutely! It’s a delicious dessert that comes together quickly and never fails to impress. Simply brew a pot of Armenian coffee (soorj), in lieu of espresso.
I’ve named this recipe Edna’s Affogato to honor one of my favorite brands, Edna’s Coffee, out of Glendale, California. Edna’s mild taste and velvety texture pair nicely with ice cream, but any Armenian coffee you have on-hand will do. Serve with chocolate-covered biscotti, and your dinner guests will surely be satisfied.
