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
- 1 espresso capsule
- 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
- ½ cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
- ¼ cup heavy cream, whipped to a medium-soft peak
- 1 teaspoon shaved bittersweet chocolate, or unsweetened cocoa powder, for garnish (optional)
Preparation
- Put the espresso capsule into the unit. Put the chocolate syrup into a large mug and place underneath the brew head. Reserve.
- 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.
- Select a Single Espresso and allow it to brew into the mug with the chocolate syrup.
- 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.
- Serve immediately.
