Method
- Put the croissant and cognac in a blender or food processor and whizz until smooth. Transfer to a freezable container, cover and freeze for at least 2 hours. Strain through a very fine sieve (or for an even clearer finish, through coffee filter paper) and reserve.
- Put the Nutella, sugar and 25ml water in a small saucepan and gently warm until the sugar has dissolved. Leave to cool.
- To make the cocktail, measure out 50ml croissant cognac and 25ml nutella syrup in each glass, then top up with 50ml hot coffee in each, stirring to combine. Put a spoon over the top of the coffee and gently pour double cream onto it (it should float on the surface of the coffee). Garnish with toasted coconut flakes.
