This recipe is a playful take on the affogato – a traditional Italian, coffee-based ice cream dessert. This rendition incorporates matcha powder into the espresso mixture to create a flavorful glaze for the cornflakes for an added crunch. Made with real dairy, just without the lactose, it’s the perfect creamy treat.
Yields/Serves:
1
Ingredients:
For the Matcha Glazed Cornflakes
3 tablespoons LACTAID® Reduced Fat 2% Lactose-Free Milk (more, if needed)
1 tablespoon matcha powder
½ cup cornflake cereal
1 ¼ cup powdered sugar
For the Matchagato
¼ tablespoon instant espresso coffee
¼ cup boiling water
¼ cup chocolate dirt
1 graham cracker
1 teaspoon matcha powder
Ingredients list 2:
For the Matcha Glazed Cornflakes
- In a small saucepan over low heat, mix 1 ¼ cups of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon matcha powder and 3 tablespoons of LACTAID® Reduced Fat 2% Lactose-Free Milk.
- Slowly whisk until dissolved.
- Set aside to cool.
For the Matchagato
- Bring ¼ cup of water to a boil.
- Pour the boiling water into a cup filled with ¼ tablespoon of instant coffee. Stir until dissolved and set aside.
- Pour ⅛ cup of LACTAID® Reduced Fat 2% Lactose-Free Milk (or more, according to taste) into the espresso. Set aside.
- Place the ¼ cup of chocolate dirt on the bottom of a glass bowl.
- Scoop 1 ½ cups of LACTAID® Lactose-Free Vanilla Ice Cream into the glass bowl.
- Place one graham cracker into the side of the ice cream.
- Pour espresso directly into the bowl and over the ice cream scoop.
- Take 2 tablespoons of your cooled matcha glaze and drizzle it across the scoop of ice cream in a zigzag motion.
- In a separate bowl, pour ½ cup of cornflake cereal and slowly pour the remaining matcha glaze over the cornflakes. Mix until well-coated. Be careful not to over glaze, which causes the cornflakes to become soft and lose their crunch. Top the ice cream with the matcha cornflakes.
- Using a sifter, take 1 teaspoon of matcha powder and dust over the bowl to serve.
