Ingredients
- Espresso: 2 shots (about 2 oz or 60 ml) of freshly brewed espresso
- Milk: 1 cup (240 ml) of cold whole milk (or milk of choice: oat, almond, soy, etc.)
- Chocolate Syrup: 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
- Marshmallow Fluff: 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
- Ice Cubes: 1 cup (about 6-8 cubes)
- Whipped Cream: Optional, for topping
- Chocolate Shavings or Cocoa Powder: Optional, for garnish
- Vanilla Extract: 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml, optional for extra flavor)
Equipment
- Espresso machine or stovetop moka pot
- Cocktail shaker or mason jar with a lid
- Tall glass (12-16 oz capacity)
- Spoon or straw for stirring
Instructions
- Brew Espresso: Prepare 2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or moka pot. Allow it to cool slightly (about 5 minutes) to prevent melting the ice too quickly.
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with 1 cup of ice cubes.
- Mix the Base: In a cocktail shaker or mason jar, combine the cooled espresso, cold milk, chocolate syrup, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla extract (if using). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the mixture is frothy and well-combined.
- Pour: Pour the mixture over the ice in the prepared glass.
- Garnish: Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for an extra touch.
- Serve: Stir gently with a straw or spoon to combine the flavors. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips
- For a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra half-shot of espresso.
- To make it vegan, use plant-based milk and skip the whipped cream or use a vegan alternative.
- If marshmallow fluff is too sticky, warm it slightly (10 seconds in the microwave) to make it easier to mix.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less chocolate syrup to taste.
