To help Britons cool down during the warm summer months, the UK coffee chain Costa Coffee has introduced an indulgent new treat called the Coffee Banoffee Frostino. By putting a caffeinated spin on a popular British dessert, the new drink is sure to appeal to those looking for a sweet way to get their coffee fix.
Banoffee pie is creamy English dessert made from a combination of bananas, toffee and cream stuffed into a pastry or crumbled biscuit crust. It is this beloved British dessert that serves as the inspiration for Costa's new Coffee Banoffee Frostino creation.
In order to call to mind the indulgent taste of banoffee pie, Costa combines fresh bananas with milk, ice and espresso. The drink is then finished with cream, caramel sauce and caramel fudge pieces to mimic the fluffy texture of the famous pie.
