Ingredients

  • 1 cup freshly brewed coffee, hot
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup milk, any kind (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • whipped cream for topping
  • chocolate shavings for garnish

Directions

  1. Brew your coffee using your preferred method until you have 1 cup of hot coffee ready.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir well to blend the dry ingredients.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add 1 cup of milk. Heat the milk until it is warm but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
  4. Once the milk is warm, add the cocoa-sugar mixture and whisk until fully dissolved, about 1-2 minutes. You want the mixture to be smooth and creamy.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  6. In a large mug, pour the hot coffee first, then gently add the chocolate milk mixture on top. Stir lightly to combine.
  7. Top your café mocha with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings for a delightful finish.
