Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Dark chocolate (70-85% cocoa)
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 shot Espresso or strong coffee
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate and set it aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scalding.
Once the milk is warm (but not boiling), add the chopped dark chocolate and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
If you prefer a slightly sweeter latte, whisk in the granulated sugar until dissolved.
Brew one shot of espresso or strong coffee using your espresso machine, French press, or coffee maker.
Pour the prepared chocolate milk into a mug, leaving a little room at the top for the espresso.
Slowly pour the shot of espresso over the chocolate milk and stir gently to combine.
Optionally, top with whipped cream and garnish with dark chocolate shavings for an extra touch of indulgence.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Dark Chocolate Latte!
