Method
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.
Barista note: Taste before adjusting — a small change in grind, dose, ratio, or time usually makes the biggest difference.
