Easiest Way to Make Greek Islands Honeymoon Luxury

Island Affogato

Due to the long occupation by the venetians in medieval times, the architecture of corfu has been strongly influenced by the italian style.

Recipe Summary Island Affogato

Traditional affogato is vanilla gelato topped with espresso, but here a tropical sorbet forms an island in a coffee-flavored rum sea. Rum-based Tia Maria® coffee liqueur is preferred for its wonderful rich flavor.

Ingredients | Greek Islands Honeymoon Luxury

1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen

1 cup frozen pineapple chunks

½ cup cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez®)

1 1x3-inch strip of lemon peel

2 toothpicks

1 sprig fresh mint, leaves removed and stem discarded

1 fluid ounce coffee liqueur (such as Tia Maria®)

1 fluid ounce dark rum (such as Myers's®)

Directions

Place banana slices, pineapple chunks, and cream of coconut in a blender; blend until sorbet mixture is smooth and creamy.

Freeze sorbet in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions, or pour into a freezer-safe container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes to break up large ice crystals, until firm, up to 2 hours.

Coil lemon peel into a cylinder and secure with 1 toothpick. Insert mint leaves through the top to create "pineapple" leaves.

Mix coffee liqueur and dark rum together in a coupe glass.

Place a 2-ounce scoop of sorbet in a coupe glass. Pour coffee liqueur and rum mixture on top. Insert 1 toothpick into the center of the sorbet scoop. Place the "pineapple" garnish on top.
