Easy Mocha Affogato- Italian Ice Cream Dessert (Throwback Thursdays)

Photo circa 2011

August 2011 I wrote: Scooping out some ice cream for dessert is probably one of the quickest ways to satisfy your sweet tooth after a meal.  Well, why not take it up a notch with this fun Italian take of a coffee/ice cream dessert.  It's too simple to even call it a recipe because it's basically some hot espresso or strong coffee poured over some vanilla ice cream.  I decided to put my own twist by making it mocha flavored by mixing chocolate and coffee together. Garnish with a few Pirouline wafer cookies and you have yourself a  a really simple dessert that is fancy enough to serve for guests.

Note: Throwback Thursday is a new series where I take some of my original posts here on  Curry and Comfort and redo them so I can take better photos
