Coffee with Cocoa and Milk — Mocaccino
Fragrant, delicious, and beautiful — for the discerning! A mocaccino is a kind of latte that, along with coffee and milk, has chocolate in some form: melted chocolate, cocoa, or a ready-made dessert topping. The drink isn't hard to make at all, and the result is sure to delight.

Step 1:
How do you make a delicious three-layer coffee with cocoa and milk — a mocaccino? It's not that hard. First, gather the ingredients from the list. In a non-alcoholic mocaccino, the bottom layer is usually melted chocolate or cocoa. I'll go with the cocoa version. I'm giving the amounts for a single serving so you don't get tangled up in what goes where and when. For the photos I actually made two servings at once — just double everything.

Step 2:
Pour 50 ml of water into a small saucepan. Add the cocoa and stir until smooth. Set it over low heat and, stirring, bring to a boil. Pour in a couple of tablespoons of the milk (from the total amount) and add the sugar — adjust the sugar to your taste. Cook, stirring, until thickened. The cocoa needs to be denser than the coffee and milk so its layer stays at the bottom of the glass. Take the cocoa off the heat and let it cool.

Step 3:
Put the ground coffee into a cezve, pour in the remaining 90 ml of water, and stir. Set it over low heat and bring to a boil. When the coffee comes up, strain it through a fine sieve, return it to the heat, and bring it back to a boil.

Step 4:
While the coffee brews, prepare the milk. Pour the remaining milk (about 70 ml) into a small saucepan. Set it over low heat and warm it to 140–149°F (60–65°C). The milk should be hot but not boiling, and cooler than the coffee.

Step 5:
Whip the cold cream with the powdered sugar until stiff — when you turn the bowl over, the cream shouldn't slide out. If you have store-bought canned whipped cream, you can skip this step.

Step 6:
Pour the cooled cocoa into a clear Irish coffee glass with a handle. Pour the warmed milk on top. Then gently pour the hot coffee over the milk, down the back of a knife or spoon so the layers stay separate. Top the drink with whipped cream and, if you like, chocolate syrup. Time to enjoy it. Enjoy!
- For making this drink, it's best to use filtered or bottled water with a neutral taste. Tap water can leave it with an off, characteristic aftertaste.
- Instead of sugar, you can use a sweetener that holds up to heat.
