Iced Protein Pistachio Mocha

This iced protein pistachio mocha is inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate pistachio trend, bold espresso layered over dark chocolate, topped with a thick pistachio protein cold foam and crispy kataifi. A high-protein coffee drink that tastes like a $9 café order, made at home in 5 minutes.

Instructions

1. 1
   Build your iced protein mocha base

   Fill a 16 oz. glass with ice. Pour in the dark chocolate sauce, then add your 2 espresso shots and 4 oz. of milk. This layered approach keeps your iced coffee from getting watery too fast.
2. 2
   Roll to mix (the barista trick)

   Pour the mixture into a shaker tin and back into your glass. This is the "roll to mix" method used by professional baristas. It blends the dark chocolate sauce evenly without over-diluting your iced coffee.
3. 3
   Make the pistachio protein cold foam

   Combine your pistachio protein cold foam ingredients in a shaker cup and dry shake vigorously until thick and frothy — no ice needed. You can also use a blender or milk frother for an ultra-smooth, café-style pistachio cold foam.
4. 4
   Top with cold foam, garnish & serve

   Slowly spoon the pistachio protein cold foam over your iced mocha, it should float on top like a cloud. Finish with a nest of crispy kataifi and a sprig of fresh mint for that Dubai chocolate-inspired presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy.
