Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 shot freshly brewed espresso
- 240 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 0.25 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 1 packet stevia
Instructions
Brew a fresh shot of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop moka pot and set it aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the almond milk until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Add almond extract and stevia to the almond milk and stir until combined.
Use a milk frother or a hand whisk to froth the hot almond milk until it doubles in volume and becomes creamy in texture.
Pour the brewed espresso into a large cup or mug.
Gently pour the frothed almond milk over the espresso, using a spoon to hold back the foam until the cup is nearly full.
Spoon the remaining foam on top to create a thick, creamy layer.
Dust the top of the cappuccino with a light sprinkle of cocoa powder for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-fat almond cappuccino!
