- 2 shots espresso (or 4 oz strong cold brew concentrate)
- 4 oz milk (dairy or non-dairy for the base)
- 2 tbsp chocolate syrup
- 1 tbsp coconut syrup
- Ice cubes
- For the Cold Foam: 2 oz heavy whipping cream
- For the Cold Foam: 1 oz cold milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- For the Cold Foam: 1 tsp powdered sugar
- For the Cold Foam: 1/2 tsp coconut extract
- Brew your espresso shots or prepare the cold brew concentrate. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a tall glass, combine the chocolate syrup and coconut syrup.
- Add the 4 oz of base milk to the glass. Stir briefly to mix with the syrups.
- Fill the glass almost to the top with ice cubes.
- Pour the cooled espresso or cold brew over the ice and milk mixture. Do not stir the coffee layer yet.
- Prepare the cold foam: In a small, deep container, combine the heavy whipping cream, cold milk, powdered sugar, and coconut extract.
- Use a handheld milk frother or whisk vigorously until the mixture thickens and holds soft peaks. This takes about 1 to 2 minutes with a frother.
- Gently spoon the prepared cold foam over the top layer of the iced drink. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a dairy-free cold foam, use full-fat canned coconut cream instead of heavy cream and milk. You may need less coconut extract.
- Adjust the amount of chocolate and coconut syrup based on your preference for sweetness and flavor intensity.
- If you do not have a frother, you can shake the cold foam ingredients very hard in a sealed jar for several minutes until thickened.
