Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 2 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare 1 cup of strong brewed coffee or espresso, and set it aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk and granulated sugar. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the milk reaches a gentle simmer (do not let it boil).
Add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan and whisk continuously until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Pour the brewed coffee or espresso into two mugs, dividing it evenly.
Slowly pour the warm chocolate mixture over the coffee in each mug, stirring gently to combine.
Top each drink with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Finish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few chocolate shavings for garnish.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your luxurious Alaska Mocha!
