Dirty Chai Affogato

You didn’t think I was going to let Karen make a batch of her delicious spicy chai without stealing some for dessert, did you? These dirty chai affogatos are the perfect way to get that after-dinner caffeine fix, while simultaneously slurping down a scoop of cardamom ice cream. I promise, you’ll devour it so fast you won’t even have to worry about the ice cream melting. Embarrassing fact: after we photographed this post, I quickly ate all four affogatos! “What’s the harm in 4 little scoops of ice cream?” I thought. Only afterwards did I remember the four espresso shots I had just consumed. It was worth every waking late-night minute!! 🙂

Find the recipe for the spicy chai tea here. And if you want to be extra fancy, Sarah has a killer cardamom ice cream recipe (and it's vegan!), but Three Twins and McConnell's both make delicious store bought options.

So I’m basically going to HAVE to eat these for breakfast. I can’t do caffeine past 3 pm or I’ll be staring at the ceiling all night. It’s a good excuse to have an affagato for breakfast. Also, cardamom ice cream? I’m dead. Where do you get yours?
