Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 3 oz Dark chocolate (dairy-free, chopped or chips)
- 2 shots Espresso
- 1 tbsp Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1.5 tbsp Maple syrup
- 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
- optional Whipped coconut cream (optional, for topping)
- optional Shaved dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the dairy-free dark chocolate pieces to the warm almond milk and whisk until completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a tiny pinch of sea salt. Continue whisking until well combined and hot—do not let the mixture boil.
Prepare two shots of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. If you don’t have an espresso maker, you can substitute with 1/4 cup of strong brewed coffee.
Pour one shot of espresso into each serving mug.
Divide the hot chocolate mixture evenly between the mugs, pouring it over the espresso.
Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a little extra maple syrup.
Top with whipped coconut cream and shaved dark chocolate, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan liquid chocolate mocha!
