For the rest of the month, the posting schedule will (hopefully!) be Sunday-Thursday. It's day 6 of VeganMofo! The challenge is to talk about vegan food, as much as possible, for the entire month of November. I'm shooting for 5 days a week.
#CAFFE MOCHA FULL#
Whether you go with the full mocha or just hot chocolate, this hot beverage is totally coffee shop worthy, but you don't need to pay extra for soy milk. Stir in the espresso and you're on your way to having a damn good morning. If you're not a coffee fan, just exclude the espresso for a BOMB hot chocolate. A combo of unsweetened soy milk, plenty of dark chocolate, a Medjool date, a touch of pure vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt, all whirled together in a blender, make for a ridiculously creamy beverage. Decadent, velvety hot chocolate + a hefty jolt of caffeine? Sign me up! Then I moved to regular lattés (my current obsession), and then over to the Caffé Mocha. It started with the Oatmeal Latté I developed for Nature's Path. The Moka pot doesn't technically make espresso, but as far as my unrefined coffee palate goes, it does. Since picking up a Bialetti Moka Express for the sweet price of $14, I've been hitting up the "espresso" drinks for an enhanced caffeine kick. Instead of stumbling to your coffee pot set to "auto brew" in a sleepy stupor, prepare yourself something decadent and relish the morning ahead. To change the recipe yield, hover over the serving size in the recipe card below or click if you’re on mobile, and slide the slider.Every day is a good day for coffee, but weekends are an opportunity to take your morning cup a step further.
This recipe scales up with no preparation changes needed. But if you’d like to skip the caffeine, you can use decaf coffee. This particular recipe has about 95 mg of caffeine. (That recipe will also walk you through making your mocha a frappuccino if that’s more your jam.) Go check out my Iced Mocha Recipe if you’re craving your mocha cold today. It’s really easy to make an iced mocha at home, but for best results, the method you’ll want to use is slightly different than this recipe. For full measurements, find the recipe here. White Chocolate Mocha: Use chopped white chocolate instead of the homemade chocolate syrup.You can also use dulce de leche for a dulce de leche mocha. Caramel Mocha: Add a heaping tablespoon of caramel or salted caramel when you add the coffee and milk.Peppermint Mocha: Crush a full-size candy cane in a plastic bag and add it to the sugar/cocoa powder/water mixture and stir until completely dissolved.Pour into a mug and microwave for 30 seconds or until steaming. Rich espresso and house-made chocolate sauce rendezvous with creamy steamed milk under. Give a few very good shakes, until everything is well-mixed and milk is foamy. Chocolate and espresso meet for the ultimate indulgence. Screw on lid securely and wrap top with a towel (in case your jar leaks). Pour into a cup, top with whipped cream if desired, and enjoy!Ĭombine all ingredients in a mason jar.
If making on the stove, you can whisk the mixture vigorously until foamy.
You can also use half and half if that’s what you keep on hand. Heavy cream: Cream is optional, but a little splash adds a really delicious richness to the coffee.The higher fat your milk, the richer and creamier your drink will be. Your choice of milk: By default, Starbucks uses 2% milk in their coffee drinks, but you can use any milk you’d like including non-dairy milks.Use whatever coffee you have on hand, decaf works fine. Coffee: True mocha lattes are made with espresso, but we’ll stick to regular coffee for this homemade version since that’s what most people have available.Homemade chocolate syrup: Instead of using store-bought chocolate syrup or hot chocolate mix as many recipes do, you’ll make a quick syrup of cocoa powder, sugar, and water to flavor the mocha base.
It’s sweet, chocolatey, and takes hardly more time to make than adding cream and sugar to your morning coffee so it can be the thrown-together treat that gets you through a crazy busy morning or something to sip slowly on a lazy Sunday morning. I’ve shared a bunch of easy coffee recipes on the site in the past, my Iced White Chocolate Mocha, Chai Tea Latte, Pumpkin Spice Latte, and Caramel Macchiato, but this homemade mocha might be the easiest of them all.
