Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml Strong brewed coffee
- 180 ml Low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Sugar or sugar substitute
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Whipped topping (optional, low-fat)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew 120 ml of strong coffee using your preferred method (e.g., French press, drip coffee maker, or espresso machine). Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the low-fat milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar or sugar substitute, and vanilla extract.
Whisk the mixture continuously until the cocoa powder and sugar are fully dissolved, and the milk is heated through but not boiling, about 3-5 minutes.
Using a handheld frother or whisk, froth the heated milk mixture until it becomes light and foamy.
Pour the brewed coffee into a large mug, then gently pour the frothed milk mixture over the coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon to layer it on top of the drink.
If desired, top the mochaccino with a dollop of low-fat whipped topping and sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your rich and satisfying low-fat mochaccino!
