A Sensory Dessert Drama by Hojalicious – Toasted Marshmallow Affogato
This is not your ordinary dessert—this is Hojalicious’s signature affogato moment. A dreamy collision of textures and temperatures, this coffee and ice cream dessert is where rich vanilla ice cream, intense hot espresso, and a torched marshmallow meringue come together in one dramatic cup.
Picture the moment: dark espresso cascading over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, creating a delicate swirl of cream and coffee. It’s not just a drink—it’s a coffee ice cream float that feels like a cozy afternoon in a cup.
On top, we pipe a soft meringue cloud and torch it just enough to caramelize the edges—bringing a golden crispness that mimics a toasted marshmallow. It crackles lightly, melts slightly, and adds a warm, sweet contrast to the cool base beneath.
With each layer—ice cream, espresso, and brûléed meringue—you get a different texture, a new sensation. It’s like sipping through a slow-motion scene: shiny crema reflections, silky melt, and golden peaks.
From our glass to your heart, this dessert-drink hybrid is more than a café treat—it’s a moment of edible beauty. Perfect for your next pop-up menu, brand collaboration, or festive launch, it stands out as a drinkable dessert sculpture and an unforgettable taste memory.
Whether it’s your solo coffee ritual or a centerpiece for a dessert table, this Hojalicious creation invites you to pause, enjoy, and fall into flavor.
