Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener of choice
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or milk alternative (oat milk recommended)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 1.5 cups ice cubes
- Optional whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Brew and cool your coffee: Prepare 1 cup (240 ml) of espresso or strong coffee. Let it cool to room temperature or chill it in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
- Mix cocoa and sweetener: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder with 2 tablespoons sugar.
- Combine coffee and cocoa mixture: Pour the cooled coffee into the blender, add the cocoa-sugar mix, and stir briefly to start dissolving the cocoa.
- Add milk and vanilla: Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of milk or milk alternative and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add ice: Toss in 1 to 1.5 cups of ice cubes.
- Blend until smooth: Pulse the blender on high for 30-45 seconds or until frothy and icy-smooth. Stop and scrape the sides if needed.
- Taste and adjust: Add more sugar or cocoa powder if desired and blend again briefly.
- Serve immediately: Pour into a glass and top with whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Use cooled coffee to prevent melting the ice too quickly. For a thicker mocha, add a frozen banana or vanilla ice cream before blending. Use high-quality ice cubes for best texture. For dairy-free, substitute milk with oat, almond, or coconut milk. Adjust sweetness to taste. Blend just before serving for best frothy texture.
