Description
This hot mochaccino blends rich espresso, creamy milk, and deep cocoa flavor into a cozy, café-style drink you can make at home in minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 shot espresso (about 1 ounce)
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar (to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk cocoa powder, sugar, and a splash of milk until smooth.
- Add the remaining milk and heat gently until warm, but not boiling.
- Brew the espresso and pour into your mug.
- Froth the warm milk mixture using a frother or whisk.
- Pour the milk over the espresso and top with foam.
- Sprinkle with cocoa powder or cinnamon and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee if you don’t have espresso.
- Whole milk froths best, but plant-based options work too.
- Sift cocoa powder before mixing to prevent clumps.
- Try adding a pinch of sea salt or a dash of cinnamon for extra depth.
