Dark Chocolate Mocha
This Dark Chocolate Mocha is smooth, creamy, and easy to make on the stovetop. It's lightly sweet and is best enjoyed on a chilly day.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (125 ml) milk
- ½ tsp Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 oz (30 g) high-quality 70% dark chocolate broken into pieces
- Pinch of salt
- ¾-1 tsp granulated sugar
- 2 shots espresso
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk the milk and cocoa powder.
- As the milk starts to heat up a bit, add the dark chocolate, salt, and sugar. Whisk until everything has fully melted.
- Stir in the espresso and heat until the mixture starts to steam and bubbles form along the edges. Don't let it come to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and use a milk frother or whisk to foam the drink.
- Pour the mocha into a cup and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
- We prefer to use whole milk, but you can use any unsweetened milk of your choice.
- The espresso can be substituted for ¼ cup (60 ml) of strong hot coffee.
- Nutrition information is only an estimate and was calculated using whole milk and ¾ tsp of sugar. For a lower calorie drink, we recommend using almond milk.
