Mocha Lin

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Many moons ago when I was searching for a mocha recipe, all I would see would be combinations of instant coffee, chocolate syrup and/or cocoa powder. Sacre Bleu! If they got one component right they’d go right ahead and kill the recipe by using something instant or syrup – yucks!

Here’s my own recipe, espresso, organic dark chocolate, vanilla, milk and double cream. Rich and indulgent! Not for the faint hearted!

Shall we get our aprons on?

Ingredients

  • 1-2 shots espresso depends on how strong you like it
  • 20 g dark chocolate 70%, broken
  • 50 ml double cream
  • 100 ml whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • sugar to taste 1-2 tsp per serving, I do without

Instructions

  • Place the chocolate and most of the cream in a bowl or mug and melt. Stir to combine thoroughly. Save about 2 tbsp of cream for the top layer at the end.
  • Make the espresso.
  • Add the vanilla and sugar, if using, stir, then add the espresso.
  • Pour into the serving latte glass or cappuccino cup.
  • Froth the milk. Add to the coffee and stir gently.
  • Very gently, add the rest of the cream to achieve that layered look.

Notes

I always melt chocolate in the microwave and have never had a problem. I suppose the key is to adjust the power, especially with white chocolate as it burns easily. Mine is 1000 watts and I use it at 50% power to melt chocolate.
