Creamy Chocolate Affogato

Affogato is an Italian coffee-based dessert featuring a scoop of ice cream topped with a shot of hot espresso. While the Italians have it right, we made this recipe a little more kid-friendly (and chocolate-y) for a sweetly simple frozen treat. Just remember, the hot sauce will start melting the ice cream, so pour it on at the table for a mouthwatering show.
