Dark Chocolate Mocha

This Dark Chocolate Mocha drink is made with a combination of 70% dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and freshly brewed espresso. The dark chocolate gives it a slightly thick consistency that makes this mocha extra delicious and indulgent. It’s great for sipping on when it’s cold out and comes together in just a few minutes.

Tip:

For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk instead of whole milk to keep a creamy consistency.
