Coffee Latte Affogato Protein Shake
The morning bar, turned into the morning coffee. Working with the bars: Warm to soften. Gentle heat (a low oven, a skillet's last minute, a hot marshmallow) turns the bar fudgy and spreadable — that's the tallow doing its job.

- ½ cup milk of choice

- Optional finisher: 1 fresh hot espresso shot

Pour into a tall glass and scatter the reserved bar pieces on top.

For the true affogato move: pull a hot espresso shot and pour it slowly over the top right before drinking — it softens the bar pieces into fudgy coffee bites.
