Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon thick cream
- Crystallized sugar (to taste)
- ½ teaspoon milk protein
- ½ cup brewed coffee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for coffee)
- 1 tablespoon sugared or unsweetened cocoa nibs
- ¼ teaspoon flaked coconut (optional, for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cream Base
In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, thick cream, crystallized sugar, milk protein, and a pinch of salt. Stir constantly over medium heat until the mixture thickens into a smooth cream. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Step 2: Add Cocoa & Coffee Flavor
Stir in cocoa nibs and brewed coffee, mixing until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture evenly into a glass baking dish.
Step 3: Chill & Set
Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until thoroughly chilled and set.
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
Spoon into individual servings, topping each with toasted coconut flakes for extra crunch and tropical flavor.
Pro Tips for Success
Use coconut milk instead of whole milk for a deeper, tropical flavor.
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less crystallized sugar or cocoa nibs.
Serve chilled for the best creamy texture.
