Ingredients
- 120 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 shot Brewed espresso
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

- 1 tablespoon Chocolate shavings or curls (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk and heavy cream over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.

Stir in the brewed espresso, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. Continue whisking until fully incorporated and heated through.
Pour the hot mocha truffle mixture into two mugs.
Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Garnish with optional chocolate shavings or curls for an extra touch of decadence.
