Ingredients

• 1 shot (2 oz) of freshly brewed espresso
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup milk of your choice
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp heavy cream
• 1 tbsp chocolate syrup

Directions

1. Prepare the Espresso and Cocoa Base: Brew a single shot of espresso into a mug. In the same mug, whisk in the cocoa powder and sugar until a smooth paste forms. Critical Tip: Whisking thoroughly at this stage prevents lumps in your final drink.
2. Heat and Froth the Milk: In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk and vanilla extract over medium heat until it's steaming, but not boiling. You can use a frother to create a creamy foam if you desire. Pour the warm milk into the mug with the espresso-cocoa mixture and stir to combine.
3. Make the Chocolate Cream: In a separate small bowl, whisk the heavy cream and chocolate syrup together until soft peaks form.
4. Final Step: Gently spoon the whipped chocolate cream over the top of the coffee. Garnish with a light dusting of cocoa powder or a few chocolate shavings before serving.
