My absolute summer favourite: pistachio cold cocoa. It’s thick, velvety, and ultra-chocolatey—but what makes it truly special is the swirl of creamy pistachio paste blended right in.

Ganache vs Frosting vs Glaze: What’s the Difference and When to Use Each

MANGO FRAPPE
When the heat is relentless, this mango frappe is my go-to escape in a glass. It starts with juicy, sun-ripened mangoes blended into a smooth, golden purée.

COLD COCOA IN MICROWAVE
Cold cocoa in the microwave—don’t judge it till you try it. It starts warm, because I’m impatient and the microwave gets the job done. Cocoa powder, a little sugar, milk—no fancy frothers, just a spoon and some late-night craving energy. Then I chill it, because somehow it tastes better cold. It’s rich, smooth, nostalgic, and…
