Need your espresso mocha fix, but don’t have an espresso machine and don’t want to drop $4 at Starbuck’s? Got ya covered! It’s rich and creamy, not too sweet and very chocolatey. Of course, like most of my recipes, you’re welcome to make tweaks based on your tastes. You do you.
Biggest suggestion to getting this right is to go with a quality chocolate. I used a Ghiradelli 60% Cacao Unsweetened bar. My version is extra, extra chocolatey. I recommend using between 1/2 ounce and 1 ounce of chocolate based on how much of a chocoholic you are. You can also adjust the sugar if you like things a little extra sweet

No Machine Required for this Espresso Mocha
Did ya catch that? The only fancy equipment was the microwave! Remember to only microwave it until it’s steamy, not scalding and then slowly add it in to the melted chocolate so that it’s smooth.
Espresso Mocha with Whip
Of course, the big question is if you’ll add the whipped cream on top of your mocha? Or maybe chocolate curls? Sprinkles? Regardless of how you top it, you’ll love enjoying a fancy coffee drink without the coffee shop price.
