Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Instant espresso powder
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, instant espresso powder, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Whisk everything together until well mixed.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture starts to simmer gently. This should take around 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry into the simmering coconut milk mixture, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
Continue to cook while stirring for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. The texture should be creamy and coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mocha mixture to cool slightly.
To serve, pour the mocha mixture into small cups or serving dishes.
For a swirl effect, use a toothpick or a thin skewer to create gentle swirls on the surface.
Let it cool to room temperature or place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set slightly before serving.
Enjoy your indulgent dairy-free mocha swirl, either on its own or as a topping for other desserts.
