- 1 shot of espresso. We used our "Spice Of Life" for a more earthy taste.
- 4 tablespoons of chocolate flakes or curls. Here we opted for our white hot chocolate "Mugs and Kisses" to give it that extra layer of smooth and sweet.
- And steamed milk.
Instructions
To begin, you will need to brew a shot of espresso using your preferred method and coffee. The bold, intense flavour of espresso will serve as a strong foundation for your mocha masterpiece. Then, in a small bowl, you will need to measure 4 tablespoons of your preferred flavour of chocolate flakes. Here, we used our hot chocolate flakes because they are specially formulated to melt effortlessly (unlike real flakes that do not melt, just burn!). This will infuse your mocha with the rich, chocolatey goodness that is needed for the perfect drink.
The next step is to pour the freshly brewed espresso over the chocolate flakes and, using a whisk, vigorously mix the mixture. You need to do this until the flakes are completely dissolved into the liquid and the result is a velvety smooth coffee and chocolate concoction.
After steaming your milk, you will pour this into your cup. Stir in your chocolate-infused espresso mixture and voila! You have yourself a comforting and indulgent mocha that is sure to warm your fingers and your soul.
Of course, I would always suggest experimenting so that you find the perfect mix for you. Try different types of chocolate and coffee flavours to find you favourite balance of sweetness and richness. You can also adjust the amount of chocolate or espresso for stronger or milder flavours. And of course, you can add all kinds of fun things atop your mocha masterpiece. Such as whipped cream, sprinkles, cocoa powder or even more chocolate shavings!
So there you have it, a step-by-step guide to help you to indulge in the luxurious goodness of a homemade mocha that's tailored to your taste preferences. Whether you crave the familiar comfort of milk chocolate, the creamy sweetness of white chocolate or the irresistible allure of a mixed chocolate mocha, this Make-A Mocha recipe has something for everyone. So why not go ahead and whip up your own and savour every sip of chocolatey bliss - cheers!
