Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier (orange liqueur)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, cocoa powder, and sugar. Place over medium heat and whisk continuously until the mixture is fully combined and begins to steam (but do not let it boil).
Add the brewed coffee, orange zest, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Continue stirring until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
Reduce the heat to low and keep the mocha warm while you prepare the whipped cream.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, Grand Marnier, and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment to beat the mixture at medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Ladle the hot mocha into two cups or mugs, filling each about three-quarters full.
Top each cup with a generous dollop of the Grand Marnier whipped cream.
Optionally, garnish with additional orange zest or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for extra flair.
Serve immediately and enjoy your luxurious Hot Orange Mocha with Grand Marnier Whipped Cream!
