Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Brew the Coffee
Start by brewing 8 ounces of your favorite coffee. We like to make sure it's nice and hot, as the heat helps dissolve the cocoa powder and chocolate pieces better.
Step 2: Add Cocoa Powder
Once the coffee is brewed, stir in the unsweetened cacao powder. Be sure to stir vigorously so the powder dissolves completely. If the cocoa doesn't dissolve right away, simply heat the coffee for 30-60 seconds in the microwave.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
While the coffee is still warm, add the chocolate pieces and stir until they melt into the coffee. If they clump together, heat the coffee a bit more to ensure they melt evenly. Stir until the chocolate is fully incorporated into the coffee.
Step 4: Add Flavor and Sweetener
Now it's time to add a splash of vanilla or almond extract for that extra depth of flavor. Follow it with your sweetener of choice—whether it's maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar. Stir until everything is well combined.
Step 5: Add Milk (Optional)
For those of us who love a creamy texture, we can add 1–2 tablespoons of coconut or almond milk. This step is optional but gives the coffee an extra smoothness that balances the chocolatey richness.
Step 6: Garnish and Enjoy
To finish, garnish your coffee with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a cinnamon stick for an added touch of warmth. You can even top it with allergen-friendly whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa powder for extra indulgence.
Tips for the Best Chocolate Coffee
When making the World's Best Chocolate Coffee, it's important to add the ingredients in small amounts. We want to avoid overpowering the coffee with too much of one thing. A little cocoa powder and chocolate go a long way. As we mix and taste along the way, we can find the perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness that suits our preferences.
It's also essential to use the milk last. We don't want to drown the chocolatey goodness in too much dairy, so adding it sparingly is key. Choose a dairy-free milk that complements the flavor of your coffee and chocolate, and remember that the milk and whipped topping should ideally match in base (almond milk with almond milk-based whipped cream, for example).
Experiment and Have Fun!
One of the best things about making the World's Best Chocolate Coffee is that there's plenty of room to get creative. We can experiment with different types of coffee, dairy-free milks, and sweeteners to create a drink that's tailored just for us. Adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a dash of cayenne pepper can give the coffee a unique twist.
Remember, this is our drink, so make it exactly how we like it. Whether we prefer a sweeter coffee or a richer chocolate flavor, the choice is all ours. With this recipe, it's easy to create a beverage that's both satisfying and delicious every time.
The World's Best Chocolate Coffee is more than just a drink—it's an experience. From the first sip to the last drop, it's a comforting, flavorful way to start our day. Whether we're sipping it solo on a quiet morning or sharing it with friends at brunch, this chocolate coffee will soon become a favorite ritual. So grab your ingredients, brew some coffee, and treat yourself to the perfect chocolatey delight!
