Directions

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

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

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

  5. 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.

Recipe Note

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.
