It is hard to resist a chocolaty coffee drink, even more so when it’s topped with whipped cream and shaved chocolate. Serve this drink in a tall glass for an extra-special presentation.
.
Ingredients
- 1espresso capsule
- 1tablespoon chocolate syrup
- ½cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
- ¼cup heavy cream, whipped to a
- medium-soft peak
- 1teaspoon shaved bittersweet
- chocolate, or unsweetened cocoa
- powder, for garnish (optional)
Preparation
- 1. Put the espresso capsule into the unit. Put
- the chocolate syrup into a large mug and
- place underneath the brew head. Reserve.
- 2. Put the milk into a separate heatproof mug.
- Hold the mug in one hand and place under
- the steam wand so the bottom of the wand
- is just below the surface of the milk at an
- angle. Select the Steam function and press
- the START/STOP knob to start steaming.
- While holding the mug at an angle, allow
- the steam to move the milk around.
- Once the milk begins to increase in volume,
- lift the mug up higher so the steam wand
- immerses deeper into the milk. When you
- can feel that the milk in the mug is quite
- hot, press the START/STOP knob to stop
- steaming. Tap the mug a few times to
- remove any larger bubbles.
- 3. Select a Single Espresso and allow it to
- brew into the mug with the chocolate
- syrup.
- 4. Slowly pour the steamed milk into the mug
- with the espresso and chocolate. Top the
- drink off with about 2 tablespoons of the
- whipped cream. If desired, top with shaved
- chocolate or cocoa powder.
- 5. Serve immediately.
