Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 teaspoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons Low-calorie sweetener (e.g., stevia or monk fruit)
- 0.5 cups Low-fat milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1 cups Ice cubes
- 1 tablespoons Optional: Whipped cream (light or sugar-free) for garnish
- 0.5 teaspoons Optional: Shaved dark chocolate for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl or glass, combine the cocoa powder and low-calorie sweetener.
Add a few tablespoons of the cooled brewed coffee to the cocoa-sweetener mixture, stirring until a smooth paste forms. This helps dissolve the cocoa powder completely.
In a tall glass, add the ice cubes.
Pour the remaining cooled coffee and the milk over the ice.
Add the cocoa mixture to the glass and stir well to combine, ensuring everything is fully blended.
If desired, top with a dollop of light or sugar-free whipped cream and a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate for garnish.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, and enjoy your Iced Mocha Very Light!
