1
Prepare the Espresso
Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine. Ensure the coffee grounds are finely ground for optimal extraction.
2
Steam the Milk
Heat 1 cup of milk in a steaming pitcher until it is hot but not boiling. Use a steam wand to create a creamy texture.
3
Foam the Milk
In a separate container, foam another cup of milk using the steam wand until it reaches a light, airy consistency.
4
Combine Ingredients
In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso. Add the steamed milk, followed by the foamed milk on top. Adjust sweetness by adding sugar to taste.
5
Garnish
Sprinkle cocoa powder on top of the foamed milk and add a few drops of vanilla extract for extra flavor.

6
Prepare the Croissant
Take a fresh croissant and slice it open lengthwise.
7
Spread the Chocolate
Spread 2 tablespoons of chocolate spread evenly on the inside of the croissant.
8
Add Fresh Strawberries
Place 4 fresh strawberries, sliced or whole, inside the croissant to add a fruity flavor.
9
Serve
Close the croissant and place it on a plate. It can be served warm or at room temperature alongside the beverage.
