Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Be sure to whip the chocolate cream just until soft peaks form to maintain a light texture that floats beautifully atop the cold brew. Using cold cream straight from the fridge helps achieve better volume. For the best flavor contrast, keep the cold brew coffee well chilled before assembling the drink.
