CCD style cold coffee recipes

Cold coffee recipe with step-by-step pictures – In one word Cold coffee is the most delicious cold beverage simply made by blending chilled milk with powdered coffee and sugar. Basically, this cold coffee concept first comes in India through CCD, Starbucks, or Barista-like worldwide popular cafes. Even due to these popular cafes, cold coffee is not bounded to a single recipe and became popular with its several variations. CCD, Starbucks, Barista first came with creamy and frothy cold coffee recipes which were much loved by people. Among these cafes, Ccd is my all-time favorite coffee shop for all types of cold coffee recipes. That is why my today’s recipe is just about my all-time favorite CCD-style coffee “Cafe frappe” and “Devil’s Own”. Today we will learn how to make it at home with step-by-step pics.

What is cafe frappe? Cafe frappe is one of the most popular cold coffee of CCD. It is made by a concoction of thick & creamy chilled milk, powdered coffee, sugar, chocolate sauce, and scoops of vanilla ice cream.

What is Devil’s own? Devil’s own is CCD’s richest chocolate-flavored cold coffee. It is also prepared with thick & creamy chilled milk, powdered coffee, sugar, chocolate sauce, grated chocolate, whipped cream(the main ingredient of this recipe) by applying the same blending method.

Why CCD is my favorite cold coffee junction? I was first introduced to cold coffee at CCD and fell in love with its creamy frothy delicious iced coffee. Since then many times I have visited their shop and became a huge fan of their all-cold coffee recipes. So when I started making it at home, I always try to bring the same CCD style taste and texture in my homemade coffee recipes. After a long-term effort finally, I can make a closed version of their coffee recipes. As Cafe frappe and Devils own are 2 of my favorite cold coffee from CCD so I often make it at home. Today I decided to share them in my blog post.

The two most important conditions for making cafe-style cold coffee – Thick & creamy milk and brewed coffee are the two most important ingredients for making any cafe-style coffee. Milk powder or condensed milk is mixed with milk and cooked to make it thick & creamy. On the other hand, instead of direct use of powder coffee, brewed coffee is used to make any cafe-style coffee. Brewed coffee is a method of collecting coffee extract by pouring hot water on the powdered or ground coffee, allow to infuse, and lastly filter. Generally, this method is used in all coffee shops for making lump-free coffee.

Equipment used in making homemade cold coffee – Without using any special equipment these ccd style cold coffee can be easily made at home in our simple kitchen blender or at a juicer jar. As even a blender will also make huge froth on the top of this drink as the coffee maker machine did. If you don’t have a blender, you can make it by simply using a whisker, hand beater, or even a shaker.

How to serve cold coffee – In CCD, cold coffee is generally served in a chilled tall glass decorated with chocolate sauce/syrup by adding few ice cubes in it. Even for having the same cafe-style taste, garnish it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and grated chocolate shavings or chocolate chips. Enjoy this drink itself as no snacks need to have it with.

Tips

• Instead of using ice cubes in the blender, direct use them in the serving glass to maintain the thickness of this beverage.
• Chocolate sauce is a must-used ingredient in a cafe-style cafe frappe. Though I didn’t use it in my recipe as a chocolate sauce used in decoration quite maintains that taste. However, you may add it to get a more chocolaty taste in this drink.
