Instructions
Brewing Steps
- Prepare the base: In your serving mug, combine peanut butter, fudge sauce, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well to create a smooth paste.
- Pull the espresso: Extract a double shot of espresso (about 60ml) directly into the mug with your peanut butter mixture.
- Mix thoroughly: Stir vigorously while the espresso is hot to fully incorporate the peanut butter and fudge into the coffee.
- Add hot water: Slowly pour 180ml of hot water (200°F) into the mug, stirring gently to create your Americano base.
- Finish with cream: Lightly whip the heavy cream and float it on top, or simply pour it in and stir for a creamier drink.
- Final touch: Add an extra drizzle of fudge sauce on top if desired.
