Mont Blanc

Meet the Mont Blanc, a Melbourne-born coffee creation that’s gone from local café favourite to viral sensation. This refreshing, creamy drink pairs chilled espresso or cold brew with silky orange-infused cream, finished with fresh orange zest and a touch of nutmeg.

Inspired by the famous European mountain, it’s a lovely way to bring a little café creativity to your own table.

The Mont Blanc Recipe - Serves 1

You’ll need

• 60ml chilled espresso or cold brew
• ¾ cup ice
• 30ml thickened cream
• 25ml fresh orange juice
• 5ml vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp sugar
• Fresh orange zest
• A pinch of ground nutmeg

Method

1. Froth the cream, orange juice, vanilla and sugar until light, silky and pourable.
2. Fill a glass with ice and add the chilled espresso or cold brew.
3. Slowly pour the orange cream over the back of a spoon to create a soft layer.
4. Finish with freshly grated orange zest and a light dusting of nutmeg.
5. Don’t stir—sip through the cream and coffee together.
