What do you call the dessert that consists of a small scoop of chocolate gelato floating in hot espresso?
Sounds odd but it is really, really good! Have only seen this in Rome....

I have seen it, and even ordered it. It is totally delicious. But it is usually with vanilla gelato, not chocolate. Gelato

Affogato con gelato di cioccolato?
As Jan writes, it's usually vanilla or cream but chocolate is absolutely great too!
