Why This Recipe Is So Loved
This drink combines the rich flavors of coffee and chocolate with a creamy texture, all without dairy. It’s perfect for those who are lactose intolerant or prefer plant-based options. Plus, it’s easy to customize with your favorite non-dairy milk.
Directions
Pour the coconut milk and chocolate chips into a small saucepan and warm them over medium heat. Keep whisking gently until the chocolate melts and the mixture starts to bubble lightly, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Next, stir in the espresso powder and a pinch of cinnamon until everything is well blended. Take the pan off the heat and mix in the vanilla extract. Pour your mocha latte into a mug and finish it off with a generous dollop of vegan whipped cream. Enjoy!
