Coffee lovers and chocolate lovers, rejoice! Mocha combines the rich taste of coffee with the creamy richness of chocolate, a favorite drink that combines the best of both worlds. Perfect for mornings when you need a pick-me-up or a cozy afternoon when you’re craving something sweet, this recipe will help you make a delicious mocha at home, turning your kitchen into your new favorite coffee shop.
Ingredients
– 1 portion of espresso or 1 cup of strong coffee
– 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
– 1 tablespoon of sugar (adjust to taste)
– 1 glass of milk (any kind to your taste)
– Whipped cream (optional)
– Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for decoration
Preparation
Start by making a strong espresso or cup of coffee. In a saucepan, mix cocoa powder with sugar and just enough water to make a smooth paste over medium heat. This step prevents lumps from forming and ensures that our mocha has a perfectly blended chocolate flavor. Then gradually add milk to the pan, stirring constantly. Heat the milk mixture until it is hot but not boiling, as this will help infuse the chocolate flavor without scalding the milk. When the chocolate milk is warm and foamy, pour it into a cup of freshly brewed coffee or espresso, stirring well to combine the coffee with the chocolate milk. If you’re feeling indulgent, top your mocha with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate chips or a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra touch of decadence. Your delicious homemade mocha is ready to be enjoyed. Enjoy this comforting chocolate treat anytime you need a little pick-me-up or just want to indulge in a sweet treat.
