Ingredient List
-
Brewed espresso (1-2 shots): Start with a freshly brewed espresso shot, or two, for that extra caffeine kick.
-
Milk (2 cups): Use nonfat milk if you want your drink to be low-fat, but whole milk adds great creaminess. Alternatively, you can use almond milk or any other plant-based milk if you prefer.
-
Chocolate malt powder (3 tablespoons): This is what gives the drink its signature malted flavor.
-
Cocoa powder (1 tablespoon): Unsweetened cocoa pairs perfectly with the chocolate malt powder and creates a deep chocolate flavor in every sip.
-
Chocolate syrup (2 tablespoons): For added sweetness, use chocolate syrup. Look for one with less sugar or use an artificial sweetener instead.
-
Malt powder (1 tablespoon): Adding malt powder will complement the chocolate malt powder by adding richness to the flavor profile.
-
Ice cream (approximately 2 scoops): You can use vanilla ice cream for a classic taste, but chocolate ice cream also works great!
-
Ice (4 cups): Keep it extra chilled by adding lots of ice.
-
Whipped cream: Optional but recommended! Add a dollop of whipped cream and some cocoa powder on top of your drink for added decadence.
The Recipe How-To
Step 1: Brew the Espresso
The key to making a great iced chocolate malted cappuccino is using freshly brewed espresso. I begin by brewing two shots of espresso using my espresso machine. Each shot should be approximately 2 ounces.
Step 2: Prepare the Malted Milk Mixture
In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup of milk with 2 tablespoons of malted milk powder and 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. If you prefer your drinks sweeter, you can add a tablespoon or two of chocolate syrup or artificial sweetener to taste. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined.
Step 3: Make the Cold Foam
To create the foam, combine 1/4 cup of nonfat milk and 3 tablespoons of malted milk powder in a jar or milk frother. You can use almond milk for a vegan version. Shake the mixture vigorously until it begins to foam, then set it aside.
Step 4: Combine the Ingredients
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes and add in approximately 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup. Pour in the malted milk mixture, followed by the two shots of freshly brewed espresso. Stir well.
Step 5: Add the Cold Foam and Serve
Top off the drink with cold foam, and finish with a dusting of cocoa powder or drizzle of chocolate syrup on top.
Enjoy your homemade excellent-quality chocolate malted cappuccino drink.
Substitutions and Variations
Are you looking to switch things up with your iced chocolate malted cappuccino recipe? Here are some substitutions and variations you can try!
First of all, if you’re looking to cut back on sugar, you can substitute the chocolate syrup for unsweetened cocoa powder. Just add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the recipe instead of the chocolate syrup. You can also use an artificial sweetener instead of regular sugar.
If you don’t have malted milk powder on hand, you can still make a delicious iced chocolate cappuccino by using regular milk powder or instant coffee. Simply add 2 tablespoons of milk powder or 1 tablespoon of instant coffee granules to your milk before blending.
Looking for a more indulgent treat? Swap out the nonfat milk for whole milk or even half-and-half. You can also replace the brewed espresso shots with an equivalent amount of bottled cold brew for a smoother and more mellow taste.
For a twist on the classic recipe, try adding almond milk instead of regular milk or even coconut milk for a tropical flavor. Top it off with some whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for a decadent treat that’s sure to please.
You can also turn your iced cappuccino into a malted mocha ice coffee by adding 3 tablespoons of malt powder to your recipe. Or, for a frozen treat, blend together some ice cream and frozen chocolate chips with your cold foam and enjoy your drink like a frosty milkshake.
In short, there are endless possibilities when it comes to customizing this recipe. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you!

In addition, this chocolate coffee concoction makes for an excellent dessert pairing as well. I’ve found that this iced cappuccino pairs particularly well with fruit-based desserts like peach amaretto crisps and strawberry-rhubarb pie.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
Preparing a delicious Iced Chocolate Malted Cappuccino can be time-consuming, so why not make it ahead of time and save yourself some time? For best results, it’s recommended to store the Iced Chocolate Malted Cappuccino in an airtight container, and keep it refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
To reheat the Iced Chocolate Malted Cappuccino, simply pour it into a heat-proof cup or mug, and microwave it for a minute, stirring after 30 seconds. If you prefer to heat it over the stove, pour the cappuccino into a small saucepan and place it over medium heat. Stir occasionally until heated through.
For those who prefer their cappuccinos warm rather than chilled, don’t worry. The recipe is easily adaptable for a hot version. Simply modify steps 4 through 6 of ‘The Recipe How-To’ section to swap out ice cream with hot milk or nut milk.
If you’re planning on storing the cappuccinos for later use or work ahead of time, consider freezing them in ice cube trays. Once frozen, remove the cubes and store them in a zipper-sealed bag in your freezer until ready to use. Then mix up some fresh brewed espresso shots to create your perfect Iced Chocolate Malted Cappuccino directly from your freezer.
Last but not least, although a blended version is our recommended way of consuming this delicious drink when make-ahead with ice cream remember that it doesn’t retain its creamy consistency upon reheating. So if you have any coffee left after spreading the joy around whether hot or cold, discard rather than trying to reheat as per instructions.
