Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots Espresso
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Ice cubes
- optional Whipped cream
- optional Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish
Instructions
Brew 2 fresh shots of espresso and set them aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder and sugar with 2 tablespoons of hot water to create a smooth paste. Stir until fully dissolved.
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it is steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat and whisk vigorously (or froth using a frother) to create foam.
Add the espresso, cocoa-sugar paste, and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir until well combined.
Fill a large glass with 1.5 cups of ice cubes.
Pour the cocoa-espresso mixture over the ice, allowing the foam to settle on top.
Top with whipped cream if desired and garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for a decorative finish.
Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon and enjoy your homemade Iced Cocoa Cappuccino!
