The chocolate malt powder is Starbucks’ new ingredient which is a combination of cocoa powder, cane sugar, and malt flavor.
To make the drink sweet, different syrups can be used, such as classic syrup.
Mocha sauce is used to add chocolate flavor to other Starbucks drinks (Mochas, Frrapuchinos, and hot chocolate).
Blonde Roast Espresso is used in Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso, but every Starbucks Store doesn’t have Blonde roast Espresso, so they use Starbucks’ Signature Espresso in this situation.
Moreover, the Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso is made up of almond milk, but you can use any plant-based milk like Oat, Soy, etc., and dairy milk as its substitute.
Starbucks mostly prefers almond milk which is sweet in flavor.

Yes, it is true that it is straightforward to make Iced Chocolate Almond Shaken Espresso, yet the following instructions are worth reading and crucial to follow.
Step 1: To Measure the Ice
A random quantity of ice cannot be added to the recipe, so to measure the ice for the drink, you can fill up a 16-ounce glass with ice then pour these ice cubes into the jar but make sure that you fill-up the glass with ice to the top because after shaking with hot espresso in the jar, the Ice will melt.
It was the way to measure the ice; the next step is to pour chocolate powder on the ice.
Step 2: Add Chocolate Malted Powder Over the Ice
It is better to sprinkle Chocolate Malted Powder on the top of the ice because it will not let it get stuck to the bottom of the cup. Here, the goal is just that both ice and chocolate powder gets dissolved well instead of lying on the bottom.
Now, the next is espresso shots.

For a homemade 16-ounces drink, you need two shots of an Espresso drink. It is time to add Espresso into the shaker and pour Espresso over the Chocolate and Ice. Keep in mind the amount of Espresso according to the size of your drink.
When you have added Espresso, then the primary step is to mix all the ingredients.
Step 4: To Shake the Ice, Chocolate, and Espresso
It’s time to shake all the ingredients together, put the lid on the shaker or jar, and shake it about ten times. For making this Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso drink, it is important to shake it long enough to dissolve the chocolate powder.
When you are done shaking, pour this drink into that cup that you used to measure the Ice.
And the last but not the least step is to add sweet almond milk over the drink.
Step 5: To Pour Almond Milk
Now the final step of this recipe is to pour almond milk on the top of this drink. The copycat Starbucks Iced Chocolate almond milk Shaken Espresso drink is ready to serve; you can enjoy the flavorful taste of all ingredients together.
