Method

Preparing the Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Start by brewing 2 shots of espresso coffee using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. Make sure to use fresh, finely ground coffee beans.

  2. 2

    Set Aside

    Once brewed, set the espresso aside in a warm place while you prepare the chocolate mixture.

Making the Chocolate Mixture

  1. 3

    Combine Cocoa and Sugar

    In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix well.

  2. 4

    Add Water

    Slowly add 120 ml of water to the cocoa and sugar mixture, stirring continuously until it forms a smooth paste over medium heat.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Milk

    Gradually add 240 ml of milk to the mixture, stirring constantly until it is well combined and heated through, but do not let it boil.

Assembling the Caffè Mocha

  1. 6

    Combine Espresso and Chocolate

    In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso shots and then add the warm chocolate mixture. Stir gently to combine.

  2. 7

    Add Whipped Cream

    Top the mixture with 1 cup of whipped cream, allowing it to slightly overflow for a decadent look.

  3. 8

    Garnish

    Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream for added flavor and presentation.
