Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 60 milliliters (2 fluid ounces) espresso
  • 130 milliliters (4.4 fluid ounces) steamed foamed milk
  • 20 grams (0.7 ounces) milk chocolate pieces, finely chopped

Optional Add-ins and Garnish:

  • 0.5 tablespoons hot chocolate powder
  • 1 tablespoon boiling water
  • Extra grated chocolate for garnishing

Preparation Options:

  • Alternative to chocolate pieces: mix 0.5 tablespoons hot chocolate powder with 1 tablespoon boiling water

Instructions

  1. Create a velvety chocolate foundation by melting high-quality chocolate or cocoa into a generous heatproof vessel, selecting either chopped chocolate pieces or prepared chocolate sauce.
  2. Brew a robust espresso shot using an espresso machine, stovetop Moka pot, or concentrated instant coffee, ensuring a rich and intense coffee flavor.
  3. Gently pour the freshly brewed espresso over the chocolate base, whisking thoroughly to encourage complete chocolate dissolution and produce a harmonious blend.
  4. Warm milk carefully, avoiding boiling, using either a steam wand, microwave, or stovetop method to achieve optimal temperature and texture.
  5. For those without specialized equipment, utilize alternative frothing techniques like vigorous whisking or employing a French press plunging method to create creamy, aerated milk.
  6. Delicately integrate the steamed milk into the chocolate-coffee mixture, stirring smoothly to create a seamless, luxurious beverage.
  7. Elevate the presentation by sprinkling grated chocolate, dusting cocoa powder, or adding a light topping of hot chocolate mix for an elegant finishing touch.
