Welcome to a world of nutty, caffeinated bliss! Our Hazelnut Frangelico Frappé is a delightful fusion of Italian liqueur and American coffee culture. This recipe was inspired by the classic Italian affogato, reimagined as a refreshing, sippable treat.
We use a rich, medium-dark roast coffee, freshly ground and cold-brewed for 12 hours to extract maximum flavor without bitterness. The coffee is then blended with velvety vanilla ice cream, a generous splash of Frangelico liqueur, and ice to create a smooth, frosty concoction. The drink is crowned with a dollop of hazelnut-praline whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed hazelnuts, adding texture and intensifying the nutty flavor profile.
