Toasted Almond & Honey Cold Brew Frappuccino

Café-style indulgence, made at home. Rich mocha cold brew blended with honey-almond condensed milk, crowned with honey whipped cream and a dusting of honey-almond brittle. Sweetened throughout with pure ALSHIFA Natural Honey, it's a coffee-shop treat worth the effort.

Yield: Makes 3 (12 oz) servings

Ingredients

• 8 fl oz mocha cold brew concentrate
• 8 fl oz whole milk
• 6 fl oz Honey-Almond Condensed Milk (recipe below)
• 2 cups ice, or as needed
• ALSHIFA Natural Honey, for garnish
• Honey Whipped Cream (recipe below), for garnish
• Honey-Almond Brittle Dust (recipe below), for garnish

For the Honey-Almond Condensed Milk

• 4 fl oz ALSHIFA Natural Honey
• 2 fl oz sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

For the Honey Whipped Cream

• 16 fl oz heavy whipping cream
• 2 fl oz ALSHIFA Natural Honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Honey-Almond Brittle Dust

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 fl oz water
• 2 fl oz ALSHIFA Natural Honey
• 1 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

Make the Honey-Almond Condensed Milk (make ahead)

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, condensed milk, vanilla, and almond extract until smooth. Refrigerate at least 8 hours.

Make the Honey Whipped Cream

Combine the whipping cream, honey, and vanilla until the honey is fully incorporated. Pour into a whipped-cream dispenser, charge, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Make the Honey-Almond Brittle Dust

1. In a small heavy pot, melt the sugar, water, and honey over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer reaches 310°F (hard-crack stage).
2. Stir in the toasted almonds, then immediately spread into a thin, even layer on a well-greased baking sheet. Let cool until fully hardened.
3. Break the brittle into pieces and pulse in a food processor until it reaches a fine, sand-like consistency. Store in an airtight container.

Assemble the Frappuccino

1. In a blender, combine the cold brew concentrate, milk, honey-almond condensed milk, and ice. Blend until smooth.
2. Drizzle honey around the inside rim of each serving glass, letting it drip down the sides. Pour in the frappe, then top with honey whipped cream and a sprinkle of brittle dust. Serve immediately.
