Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots espresso
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon dark chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Brew 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium-low heat until it is steaming but not boiling.
Whisk in 1 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar into the milk until fully dissolved.
Using a milk frother or whisk, foam the heated milk mixture until it becomes light and creamy. If a frother is unavailable, you can pour the mixture into a mason jar, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously to create foam.
Pour the prepared espresso shots into a large coffee mug.
Gently pour the foamed milk mixture over the espresso, holding back the foam initially and then spooning it on top for a layered effect.
Top with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream for an indulgent finish.
Optionally, garnish with 1 teaspoon of dark chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Cafe Pucci!
