Iced Milo With Honeycomb Cream

Jan 25, 2026

This recipe is our grown-up, ingredient-conscious take on the iconic choc-malt drink many of us remember from childhood. Creamy, cold, and deeply comforting, Iced Nostalgia with Honeycomb Cream delivers that familiar flavour profile, but reimagined with real, functional ingredients.

 

Instead of conventional malted chocolate powders, we use Nostalgia, our cacao-based blend made with ceremonial-grade cacao, maca, mesquite, and real vanilla. The result is rich and chocolatey with natural caramel notes, gentle sweetness, and a depth that feels indulgent yet nourishing.

 

To take it one step further, we top it with a light honeycomb cream and shards of homemade refined sugar-free honeycomb, bringing crunch, sweetness, and that unmistakable nostalgic magic.

Why Nostalgia?

Nostalgia was created as a healthier alternative to the well-known choc-malt classics, without losing what makes them so comforting.

 

It offers:

 

✦ Ceremonial cacao for richness, antioxidants, and mood-supporting compounds

✦ Carob for gentle, sustained energy without caffeine and a naturally sweet, malty depth

✦ Maca to support energy, stamina, and hormonal balance

✦ Mesquite for natural caramel sweetness and minerals

✦ Real vanilla for warmth and depth

✦ Monk fruit for clean sweetness without refined sugar or blood sugar spikes

 

No refined sugar. No artificial flavours. No fillers.
Just real ingredients that recreate the nostalgic indulgence of classic choc-malt drinks in a way that feels both comforting and consciously crafted.
