Mary Contini recipe: Frappe affogato
Edinburgh favourite Mary Contini of Valvona & Crolla gives us her delicious recipe for frappe affogato.
The thing I will miss most after the move is not being within walking distance of Luca’s ice cream shop in Musselburgh. I’ll just have to console myself with my favourite simple dessert blended into a milkshake. Yolanda...open in Dunbar please.

- 1 shot of espresso coffee
- 1 shot of Frangelico hazelnut liqueur
Serves: 1 Difficulty: Easy
