Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Brewed coffee
- 0.5 cup Milk (whole, almond, or oat milk)
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoons Mint extract
- 1 teaspoons Sugar or sweetener (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream

Instructions
Begin by brewing 1 cup of your favorite coffee using your preferred method. Set the coffee aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the milk with dark chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Once the chocolate is melted, add the brewed coffee to the saucepan and stir to combine.
Stir in the mint extract and taste the mixture. If you prefer a sweeter coffee, add 1 teaspoon of sugar or your desired sweetener and mix until dissolved.
Pour the mint chocolate coffee into your favorite mug.
Top with whipped cream for an indulgent touch. If desired, garnish with crushed candy canes or chocolate shavings for a festive flair.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mint Chocolate Coffee while warm!
