Starbucks Copycat Chocolate Cream Cold Brew Recipe

We love making our favorite drinks at home. Not only does it save you a ton of money but you can tweak each one to make it just the flavors you want. Just like our lotus drink recipe, this creamy blend can be made with a ton of different flavor hints.

To those who have tried Starbucks’ Chocolate AlmondMilk Shaken Espresso, this recipe brings a similar delightful taste but with a unique twist. With a chocolatey, robust flavor profile similar to their version, but we’ve enhanced it with a more with chocolate cold foam.

Ingredient Notes

You are going to need; brew with sweet cold coffee, mocha syrup, heavy whipping cream, milk, vanilla, cocoa powder, and ice. These ingredients together create a symphony of flavors that’s truly hard to resist.

When it comes to making the cold brew, patience is your friend. To achieve a smooth base like in our 3 ingredient Dalgona whipped coffee, we suggest brewing the coffee the night before. Make it faster with ice cubes done the day before too. This way, you’ll wake up to a flavorful cold brew ready to be transformed into your café style coffee drink.

Chocolate Cream Cold Brew Recipe

The first step is to infuse your coffee with mocha syrup. This brings a new depth of flavor to your cold brew, making it taste richer and more satisfying. You then follow it up with the creation of a homemade chocolate cold foam.

This foam is made by beating together heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. The result is a velvety smooth, creamy, and frothy topping that complements the bold cold brew perfectly. We make it without the cocoa to top our homemade pumpkin frappuccino too, so good.

Adding ice to your serving glasses is the next step. It provides a delightful chill to your drink. You then pour your mocha-infused cold brew and top it with generous spoonfuls of your homemade chocolate cold foam. If you’re a fan of Starbucks Chocolate Cream Cold Brew, I guarantee that this recipe is sure to please.

What is a good substitute for mocha syrup?

If you don’t have mocha sauce on hand, you can substitute it with homemade vanilla syrup or even a mix of cocoa powder and granulated sugar. Remember, the goal is to add a hint of sweetness and a boost of flavor to your cold brew. So all bets are really off, if you want to go over the top our coffee frosting is SWEET!

How to Make Sweet Cold Foam

This is cold foam for coffee, perhaps the most fun part of this recipe. It’s also where you can get creative. If you like your coffee drink extra chocolaty, feel free to add a little more cocoa powder. Alternatively, you could experiment with different flavors like using chocolate malt powder or malted milk powder instead of cocoa.

Once your foam is ready, top your glass filled with the cold brew and ice, and voila – your homemade drink is ready to enjoy.

And when you’re ready to experiment with other café-style drinks, we have others like frozen coffee that is more like a frappe and more on our site.

Tips

As for the Chocolate Cold Foam, if you have a handheld milk frother, use it! This tool will help you achieve that light, airy texture in no time. If not, a simple whisk will do, though it may take a little more effort. If you’re using almond milk for the foam, make sure to whisk vigorously to achieve the desired frothiness. Almond milk doesn’t froth as easily as regular milk.

In case you’re wondering, it’s not necessary to stick with whole milk for the foam. You could switch to almond milk for a dairy free slightly different flavor profile. The almond milk cold foam is lighter and nuttier, offering a delightful contrast to the robust flavors of the mocha-infused cold brew.

Of course, if you’re in a hurry or don’t feel like making cold brew from scratch, you can use store-bought cold brew coffee. Just remember to pick a high-quality one that’s smooth and low in acidity.

Throughout the brewing process, remember that patience is key. Give your cold brew time to extract fully and your foam time to whip to the perfect consistency. For a fun twist, serve with pecan snowball cookies or our amazing cherry coffee cake for a cafe style treat at home.
