Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 shot Espresso
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate shavings
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
In a mug, combine the cocoa powder and sugar, mixing well to avoid lumps.
Add the hot milk to the mug gradually, whisking to dissolve the cocoa powder and sugar into a smooth mixture.
Brew one shot of espresso and pour it into the mug with the milk and chocolate mixture.
Stir in the vanilla extract until the flavor is evenly distributed.
Froth additional milk (about 2-3 tablespoons) using a milk frother or by shaking hot milk in a sealed jar until foamy. Gently spoon the froth on top of the drink.
Top the cappuccino with whipped cream for extra creaminess if desired.
Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top for a decorative and flavorful finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your rich and chocolaty cappuccino!
