Description
A refreshing and indulgent iced chocolate coffee drink that blends bold brewed coffee, rich cocoa, creamy milk, and ice for a café-style treat at home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly brewed strong coffee, cooled
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup milk (whole, skim, or plant-based)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool completely. For faster cooling, refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder and sugar with 1 tablespoon of hot coffee until smooth and lump-free.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the cooled coffee over the ice.
- Add the cocoa mixture, milk, vanilla extract, and chocolate syrup if using.
- Stir well until fully combined and chilled.
- Top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness by increasing or reducing the sugar and chocolate syrup.
- For a dairy-free option, use almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk.
- Blend all ingredients with ice for a frozen mocha-style drink.
- Store the coffee base (without ice) in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Mix cocoa with warm coffee first to prevent lumps.
