Craving a coffee experience that's both familiar and exciting? Meet our Shaken Café Au Lait With Chocolate Shavings! This recipe takes the beloved café au lait to new heights with a playful shake and a touch of chocolate luxury.
Inspired by the vibrant coffee culture of New Orleans, where café au lait is a breakfast staple, we've added a modern twist. We use a medium-dark roast coffee, freshly ground to a medium coarseness, and brewed using a French press for rich flavor. The coffee is then shaken vigorously with cold milk, creating a frothy texture that's utterly irresistible. Topped with a sprinkle of fine chocolate shavings, it's a treat for both the eyes and the palate.
