Chocolate Cream Cold Brew is a luxurious and indulgent coffee drink, perfect for coffee enthusiasts who love a touch of sweetness and the rich flavor of chocolate. It’s an ideal pick-me-up for warm days or when you want a special coffee treat.
Ingredients
For the Cold Brew:
- 1 cup coarsely ground coffee beans
- 4 cups cold water
For the Chocolate Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional:
- Ice cubes
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish
Directions
- Prepare the cold brew coffee: In a large jar or pitcher, combine the ground coffee and cold water. Stir to ensure all the coffee grounds are wet. Cover and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
- After the steeping time, strain the coffee through a fine-mesh sieve or coffee filter into another container. This is your cold brew concentrate.
- Prepare the chocolate cream: In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat until the mixture is smooth and forms soft peaks.
- Assemble the drink: Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the cold brew concentrate over the ice, filling about 3/4 of the glass.
- Gently spoon or pour the chocolate cream over the cold brew. It should float on top and slowly mix with the coffee.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.
- Serve the Chocolate Cream Cold Brew immediately and enjoy the rich and refreshing flavors.
Optional:
- Adjust the strength of your cold brew by adding more or less water to dilute it according to your taste.
- For an extra chocolatey flavor, add a tablespoon of chocolate syrup to the cold brew before adding the chocolate cream.
