Take a look at this beautiful image that perfectly captures the essence of this delicious beverage:
Ingredients
- 1 shot of espresso (or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee)
- 1 cup of steamed milk
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to taste)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by brewing your espresso or strong coffee. If you don’t have an espresso machine, a French press or a drip coffee maker will work just fine!
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the cocoa powder and sugar with a few tablespoons of water to create a smooth paste. Stir until the mixture is free of lumps.
- Gradually add in the steamed milk, continuously stirring to incorporate all the ingredients. Heat the mixture until it is hot but not boiling.
- Once your espresso or coffee is ready, pour it into a large mug. Add the chocolate milk mixture on top of the espresso, stirring gently to combine.
- If you want to indulge a little more, top your Caffè Mocha with whipped cream. For an extra special touch, sprinkle some chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder on top!
- Enjoy your homemade Caffè Mocha on its own or paired with your favorite pastry for a truly divine experience.
