A straightforward recipe for making a rich, coffee shop-style iced mocha at home using espresso or strong coffee.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup or melted chocolate sauce
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or sweetener (optional)
  • Ice cubes
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your espresso or strong coffee and let it cool slightly.
  2. In a glass, combine the chocolate syrup and sugar (if using).
  3. Pour the cooled coffee or espresso over the chocolate mixture. Stir well until the chocolate is fully dissolved into the coffee.
  4. Fill a tall glass completely with ice cubes.
  5. Pour the milk into the glass over the ice.
  6. Gently pour the chocolate-coffee mixture over the milk. Stir briefly to combine.
  7. Top with whipped cream, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use oat milk or almond milk and ensure your chocolate syrup is dairy-free.
  • If you use cold brew concentrate instead of espresso, use 1/4 cup concentrate mixed with 1/4 cup water before adding to the chocolate.
  • To make a thicker sauce, gently heat 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan until smooth, then cool before using.
