Iced Coffee Lattes
Iced coffee beverages are a chilly delight for the coffee lover during the summertime, espresso along with chocolate and caramel is just one of the many flavor profiles you can create. Try PreGel Forrest Berries Topping for a bilberry, raspberry and black currant espresso explosion.
Make it you own: For most of our recipes the ideal coffee preparation would be espresso. We know that not everyone has an espresso maker, so any recipes could be created using a strong brew fine grinded coffee blend. When preparing your coffee use 2tbs of coffee for every 4oz of water. This will make an extremely strong drip brew that will make excellent iced coffee. Use any PreGel Topping or PreGel Arabeschi® along with a few scoops of gelato to the espresso or coffee, then blend for Frappachino® style coffee drinks.

Once the cookie sandwiches are pieced together, you can roll the sides in toppings such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips or sprinkles. Get really creative and coat them with PreGel Gran Stracciatella Reale Arabeschi®. Freeze until firm and serve.
