What is a Pain au Chocolat?

A Pain au Chocolat is a French pastry made of a croissant-like dough filled with chocolate or chocolate ganache. It is typically shaped like a rectangle or a crescent and is often enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack. The dough is flaky and buttery, while the chocolate filling can be in the form of a bar or melted chocolate. It is a popular pastry in France and can be found in bakeries and cafes worldwide.

How can I create a Pain au Chocolat Cappuccino at home?

To create this delectable treat, add some chocolate sauce to the inside of aMedium Barista Cup, then extract 80ml of your favouriteNespressocoffee into the same cup. The aromatic and robust flavours ofNespresso Almond Croissant Flavour Coffeeprovides a strong and flavourful base for the cappuccino. Simply extract two Original capsules, or use Expert mode on Vertuo to get a Double Espresso. Stir to combine, then dust the top with chocolate powder.

Heat and froth 120ml of your preferred milk using your machine highest froth setting. To assemble theNespresso Pain au Chocolat Cappuccino, pour frothed milk into coffee and chocolate liquid.
