Why You’ll Love This Drink

Shaken espresso is a coffee trend that’s here to stay — it’s smooth, strong, and slightly frothy. Now, imagine it infused with cookie dough flavor and topped with a cloud of silky vanilla cold foam. It’s indulgent without being heavy, and perfect for when you want something a little extra to start your day.

Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough Shaken Espresso:

• 2 shots of espresso
• 1-2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
• 1 tbsp chocolate syrup
• Pinch of flakey sea salt
• Ice

For the Vanilla Cold Foam:

• 2 tbsp heavy cream
• 1 tbsp vanilla syrup

How to Make Cookie Dough Shaken Espresso

1. Pull two fresh shots of espresso and let them cool slightly.
2. In a jar with a tight lid, combine espresso, brown sugar syrup, vanilla bean paste, salt and a handful of ice. Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until chilled and frothy.
3. Add chocolate syrup to your glass. I like to smear the chocolate syrup on the sides of the glass for a little extra decor.
4. Pour the shaken espresso into the glass filled with ice.
5. In a milk frother or small jar, combine cold heavy cream and vanilla syrup.
6. Froth until light and airy but still pourable. (A handheld frother works great here!)
7. Spoon the cold foam over the top of your shaken espresso.

Optional Toppings

• A sprinkle of mini chocolate chips
• Crushed cookie bits
• A dash of sea salt
• Drizzle of Chocolate Syrup

Tips & Variations

• No espresso machine? Use strong cold brew concentrate or instant espresso mixed with hot water.
• Dairy-free? Use oat milk and coconut cream for a creamy, plant-based alternative.

Final Sip

This Cookie Dough Shaken Espresso with Vanilla Cold Foam is everything you love about coffee and dessert in one icy cup. Sweet, rich, and a little fancy, it’s a homemade treat that feels like it came straight from your favorite café — but better, because you made it yourself.
