International Coffee Day is today, September 29, a day when we celebrate our love of coffee around the world. What better ambassador on this most caffeinated day, than everyone’s favorite energetic domed astromech, BB-8!
The New Republic droid makes the perfect companion to a scoop of cold, delicious ice cream. Once he’s doused with a piping hot shot of espresso, you’ll have the most delicious caffeinated treat in the galaxy.
BB-8 Affogato
You’ll need:
1 BB-8 silicone mold
4 ounces coffee, cooled
Ingredients:
1 scoop coffee ice cream

Pour the cooled coffee into the BB-8 silicone mold. Place it in the freezer for 6-8 hours or until solid.
