Instructions

Brewing Steps

  1. 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.
  2. Pull the espresso: Extract a double shot of espresso (about 60ml) directly into the mug with your peanut butter mixture.
  3. Mix thoroughly: Stir vigorously while the espresso is hot to fully incorporate the peanut butter and fudge into the coffee.
  4. Add hot water: Slowly pour 180ml of hot water (200°F) into the mug, stirring gently to create your Americano base.
  5. Finish with cream: Lightly whip the heavy cream and float it on top, or simply pour it in and stir for a creamier drink.
  6. Final touch: Add an extra drizzle of fudge sauce on top if desired.

Pro Tips

Pro Tips

  • Warm your mug first to help the peanut butter dissolve more easily
  • Use natural peanut butter without added sugars for better flavor control
  • Stir constantly when adding the espresso to prevent the peanut butter from clumping
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of fudge sauce to your preference
  • Make it iced: Let cool completely and serve over ice for a summer version
