Description
A chilled chocolate latte with a thin crackable chocolate shell, bold coffee, creamy milk, and ice. It is rich, refreshing, and has that fun coffeehouse-style snap in every sip.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole milk, cold
- 1 cup strong brewed espresso or coffee, chilled
- 80 grams dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar or simple syrup, optional
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate shavings or pieces, for topping
Instructions
- Chill 2 tall glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl or cup, stir the chilled espresso or coffee with the chocolate syrup and optional sugar until smooth.
- Melt the chopped dark chocolate with the coconut oil in short microwave bursts, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth and glossy.
- Remove the chilled glasses from the freezer and spoon the melted chocolate into each glass, swirling to lightly coat the inside.
- Add ice cubes to each glass.
- Pour the cold milk into the glasses, then pour in the coffee mixture for a layered look.
- Let the drink sit for 1 minute so the chocolate firms up against the cold glass.
- Top with dark chocolate shavings or pieces and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use very cold glasses so the chocolate sets quickly and cracks neatly.
- A thin chocolate coating works better than a thick one.
- Oat milk can be used instead of whole milk for a dairy-free version.
- Taste the coffee mixture before pouring and adjust sweetness if needed.
