Description
A rich and creamy iced coffee with chocolatey depth, made by heating cocoa and sugar with milk for smooth texture. Perfect for hot days or coffee lovers who crave indulgence without overpowering sweetness.
Ingredients
Milk, ¼ cup, divided
Granulated Sugar, 1-2 tbsp (adjust to taste)
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, 1 tbsp (use natural cocoa for best flavor)
Cold Coffee, 1 cup (preferably room temperature)
Heavy Cream, 1 tbsp (optional richness)
Whipped Cream, to taste (optional topping)
Chocolate Syrup, to taste (optional drizzle)
Instructions
Measure all liquids and powders. Have ice ready in a 16oz glass.
In a small pot, combine 2 tbsp milk, sugar, and cocoa powder. Heat on medium, whisking until it simmers (about 2 minutes).
Remove from heat. Whisk in remaining 2 tbsp milk, cold coffee, and optional heavy cream until fully blended (20 seconds).
Pour mixture over crushed ice in the prepared glass. Tap glass to settle ice, then top with whipped cream and chocolate syrup if desired.
Notes
Use room-temperature coffee to prevent over-dilution
Whisk constantly when combining hot and cold liquids
For creamier texture, use ½-and-½ milk
Tap glass twice after adding ice to prevent spills
