Instructions

1. 1To make the chocolate syrup: In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, and salt until smooth. Transfer to a squeeze bottle.
2. 2To make the pistachio cream: In a small pot, bring 1 cup (240 ml) of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the pistachios and boil for 1 minute, then remove the pot from the heat and let the pistachios sit in the water for 5 minutes. Drain the pistachios, transfer to a clean tea towel, and rub with the towel to remove the peels. Discard the peels.
3. 3Transfer the prepared pistachios to a food processor and add 3 tablespoons milk, powdered sugar, melted butter, and salt. Process until a smooth and creamy mixture. Transfer to a second squeeze bottle.
4. 4To make the frozen cappuccino: In a small bowl, pour in the boiling water, add the instant coffee and 1/4 cup (30 g) confectioners' sugar and stir until dissolved. Transfer to a blender and add the ice, milk, chocolate chips and roasted walnuts (if using) and blend until the ice is smooth in texture.
5. 5To make the whipped cream: In a medium bowl, combine the whipping cream and 1 teaspoon sugar (if using). Using a handheld electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the cream, starting on low and gradually increasing to medium-high, until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
6. 6To assemble: Using a squeeze bottle, drizzle chocolate syrup in random swirls inside the glasses. Pour the frozen cappuccino equally between the glasses, then top both drinks with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup and pistachio cream to taste.
7. 7Garnish with a sprinkle of orange and white chocolate shavings. Add a straw and serve immediately.
