Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots of freshly brewed espresso (or 4 ounces of strong brewed coffee)
- Unsweetened almond milk (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1–2 tablespoons of liquid sweetener (like maple syrup or agave)
- Plenty of ice
Instructions
- Brew your espresso: Start by brewing two shots of espresso. If you’re using strong brewed coffee, aim for about 4 ounces to have a similar strength.
- Mix the cocoa: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder with a little hot water (about 1-2 tablespoons) to create a smooth chocolate paste.
- Add sweetener: Stir in your choice of sweetener into the cocoa mixture. Adjust the amount to your taste preference, but I usually find 1-2 tablespoons works well.
- Combine with espresso: Pour the espresso over the chocolate mixture and stir well until everything is combined into a rich chocolate espresso.
- Shake it up: Fill a cocktail shaker or a mason jar with ice, then pour the chocolate espresso mixture over the ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.
- Pour and top: Strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice. Slowly pour the almond milk over the top, allowing the beautiful layers to form.
- Garnish (optional): If you’re feeling fancy, top your drink with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra touch.

Keywords: Chill your glass for an extra refreshing drink, experiment with flavors by adding vanilla extract or cinnamon, and consider adding a scoop of dairy-free ice cream for a mocha treat. Adjust the sweetness to your liking and use a milk frother for added creaminess.
