Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the espresso powder in the hot water to create a concentrated coffee mixture; set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, heavy cream, and whole milk. Heat gently, whisking continuously, until the sugar dissolves and small bubbles start forming around the edges of the pan. Do not let the mixture boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the dissolved espresso mixture and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.
Pour the hot mixture into two mugs or heatproof glass cups, dividing evenly.
Using a milk frother or a handheld whisk, froth the surface of the cappuccino mixture until a thick foam forms on top.
Dust the froth with a light sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa powder for a decorative touch.
Garnish with dark chocolate shavings for added indulgence.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Cappuccino Delight!
