What Is a Mont Blanc Coffee?
A Mont Blanc is a cold coffee topped with a rich layer of cream, creating a contrast between the bold coffee underneath and the smooth, velvety topping.
Rather than mixing everything together, the drink is best enjoyed through the cream, allowing the coffee and cream to come together with each sip.
The coffee
What coffee works best?
A smooth espresso with chocolate, caramel or nutty characteristics works particularly well. The coffee should have enough body to remain prominent alongside the cream while still creating a balanced drink.
For cafés, using your regular house espresso makes the Mont Blanc particularly easy to introduce as a menu special.

Make It Your Own
For a stronger Mont Blanc, reduce the amount of water or add an additional espresso shot.
The cream can also be prepared ahead of service and refrigerated, allowing cafés to assemble each drink quickly to order.
A small amount of freshly shaved orange zest adds a bright aromatic finish without overpowering the coffee.
Simple, Creamy and Refreshing
The Mont Blanc transforms a simple iced coffee into something a little more indulgent. With bold espresso, a velvety cream top and fresh orange zest, it delivers plenty of flavour without a complicated recipe.
