Ingredients:
- Cold Brew:
- Coarse ground coffee beans (preferably Colombian with chocolate notes) – 1 part
- Cold water – 4 parts
- Homemade Vanilla Syrup:
- Granulated sugar – ½ cup
- Water – ½ cup
- Pure vanilla extract – 1 tsp
- Chocolate Cream:
- Milk – ¼ cup
- Heavy cream – ¼ cup
- Homemade vanilla syrup – to taste
- Cocoa powder – 2 tbsp
Equipment:
- Coffee grinder
- Large bowl
- Mesh strainer or French press
- Small saucepan
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk or frother
Instructions:
1. Begin by grinding your coffee beans coarsely. If possible, freshly grind them at home to ensure maximum flavor.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground coffee with the cold water. Stir briefly to ensure all the coffee grounds are submerged and hydrated.
3. Refrigerate the coffee mixture for at least 10 hours or up to 24 hours to allow it to steep.
4. For the vanilla syrup, combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat them over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved and the water turns slightly yellow. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.
5. Once the cold brew has steeped, filter it using a mesh strainer or pour it into a French press to separate the grounds from the liquid. Store the filtered cold brew in a container in the refrigerator.
6. To create the chocolate cream, combine equal parts of milk and heavy cream in a measuring cup or bowl.
7. Add a couple of spoonfuls of the homemade vanilla syrup, adjusting according to your sweetness preference.
8. Sift in the cocoa powder, and using a frother or whisk, froth the mixture until it has a creamy consistency with incorporated air to help it float on top of the cold brew.
9. To serve, fill a glass with ice, pour the cold brew to the desired level, and gently top with the chocolate cream. Stir lightly if desired, and enjoy your luxurious Chocolate Cream Cold Brew Bliss.

- Adjust the sweetness of the chocolate cream by varying the amount of homemade vanilla syrup.
