Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ cup Espresso Coffee Beans
2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder --
(nonalkalized)
14 ounces Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
3 cups Water
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1½ cup Heavy Cream
2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1½ cup Crushed Ice
½ cup Dark Rum -- (optional)
Chocolate Shavings -- for
Garnish
8 Servings.

Directions

Make the drink base:

1. Crush the coffee beans coarsely with a rolling pin. In a medium saucepan, combine the crushed coffee beans, cocoa powder, and water.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir to combine.

2. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a metal bowl set in a larger howl filled with ice water. Discard the coffee beans.

Refrigerate the coffee mixture until well chilled, at least 2 hours.

The coffee and cocoa bean drink may be brewed and chilled the day before.

Assemble and garnish:

1. In a chilled 4½-quart bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer fitted with the wire whip attachment, whip the cream, sugar and vanilla at medium-high speed until soft peaks begin to form. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a star tip (such as Ateco #6) with the whipped cream. Refrigerate until ready to use.

2. If desired, stir the rum into the mixture. Divide the mixture in half. Pour half into a blender container and add ¾ cup of the crushed ice. Cover and blend at high speed for 30 seconds. Pour into 4 tall 16-ounce glasses. Repeat with the remaining crushed ice and coffee mixture.

3. Pipe a large rosette of whipped cream to float on top of the brewed coffee and cocoa bean drink. Garnish with the chocolate shavings.

Serve immediately.

PREPARATION: 20 minutes plus cooling time.
