Step 2
First, brew a double shot of coffee using your Nespresso capsule. If you don’t have a Nespresso machine, no worries! Many instant coffee products nowadays can create a rich shot-like flavor. You can use two servings of an espresso product that yields a concentrated shot (about 80ml total) to prepare your strong coffee base.
Step 3
Next, drizzle about 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup evenly around the inside of your serving glass. This step not only enhances the flavor but also adds a beautiful visual appeal to your mocha.
Step 4
Now, fill your glass about halfway with ice cubes. This recipe yields approximately 450ml, so using a 500ml pint glass will prevent any overflow and ensure a perfect pour.
Step 5
Just like cooking, getting the sweetness right can be tricky! Too sweet, and you’ll tire of it quickly; too bland, and it loses its signature mocha charm. Using pre-sweetened chocolate milk makes balancing the flavor incredibly easy without needing extra sugar or syrup. Since we’re making an iced mocha, the combination of ice, chocolate milk, and syrup will naturally create a delightful, pleasant sweetness. Pour about 250ml of chocolate milk over the ice.
Step 6
Gently pour the double shot of espresso you prepared earlier over the chocolate milk. Pouring slowly will help create a lovely layered effect.
Step 7
Finally, top generously with whipped cream according to your preference, and drizzle another tablespoon of chocolate syrup on top for that perfect cafe finish. Your homemade Cafe Mocha is now ready to be enjoyed!
Step 8
Today, we’ve journeyed into the world of homemade cafes with this Nespresso capsule Cafe Mocha recipe. Remember, even without a capsule machine, you can easily create this delightful drink using readily available strong coffee mixes or espresso shot products. Now you can effortlessly enjoy cafe-quality coffee right in the comfort of your home!
