Ingredients needed

This chocolate coffee recipe just needs a few simple ingredients.

Coffee – You will need freshly brewed coffee. I recommend using a high-quality coffee and prefer making mine with a dark roast when mixing with chocolate.

Chocolate – Choose a bar of chocolate. You can use milk chocolate or a dark chocolate bar.

Heavy cream – This adds a little creaminess to the drink but can be left out or substituted with your cream of choice.

Sweetener – Sweetener is optional. You can use sugar, Stevia, or your favorite sweetener.

Recipe tips

• The extra sweetener is optional. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add your favorite, like sugar, to taste.
• This recipe is made for a single, 8 ounce cup of coffee. It can easily be increased for more servings. A good rule of thumb, for every 8 ounces of coffee, use 2 ounces of chocolate.
• You can substitute freshly brewed coffee with instant coffee. Just prepare the instant coffee like normal and then pour into the saucepan with the chocolate.
• Use your favorite chocolate bar but I would avoid using 100% dark chocolate.
• To make an after dinner cocktail, add in a splash of RumChata or vodka.

Optional coffee toppings

• Chocolate shavings
• Whipped cream
• Chocolate syrup
• Caramel syrup
• Marshmallows
