Instructions

  1. Prepare the coffee.
    Add the instant coffee to a small cup. Pour in the hot water and stir until the coffee has completely dissolved.

  2. Add the chocolate.
    Add the chocolate syrup to the hot coffee and stir until smooth and evenly combined.

  3. Sweeten the mixture.
    Add honey or sugar if you prefer a sweeter drink. Stir until completely dissolved.

  4. Add the milk.
    Pour in the chilled fresh milk and coconut milk. Add the vanilla extract, if using, and mix well.

  5. Decorate the glass.
    Drizzle chocolate syrup around the inside of a tall serving glass.

  6. Add the ice.
    Fill the glass with ice cubes.

  7. Pour the coconut mocha.
    Slowly pour the prepared coconut mocha mixture over the ice.

  8. Add the ice cream.
    Place two scoops of vanilla or coconut ice cream on top of the drink.

  9. Add the creamy topping.
    Drizzle a little coconut cream or evaporated milk over the ice cream for an extra-rich finish.

  10. Decorate.
    Top with whipped cream, toasted coconut flakes, cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or extra chocolate syrup, if desired.

  11. Serve.
    Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon. Stir the melting ice cream into the mocha for a rich and creamy texture.

Blended Creamy Coconut Mocha

Add the coffee mixture, fresh milk, coconut milk, chocolate syrup, and ice cubes to a blender.

Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a tall glass, add the ice cream, and decorate with toasted coconut flakes and chocolate syrup.

Warm Coconut Mocha

Prepare the coffee and chocolate mixture as instructed.

Heat the fresh milk and coconut milk gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Do not allow the mixture to boil.

Pour the warm milk into the chocolate coffee mixture and stir well. Serve without ice and top with whipped cream, coconut flakes, or cocoa powder.

Kift’s Tips

  • Shake or stir the coconut milk well before using it.

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the richest and creamiest flavour.

  • Make the coffee slightly stronger because the milk, ice, and ice cream will soften its taste.

  • Adjust the chocolate syrup and sweetener according to your preference.

  • Use coconut ice cream for a stronger tropical coconut flavour.

  • One shot of espresso can be used instead of instant coffee.

  • Chill the serving glass before preparing the drink.

  • Toast the coconut flakes lightly to create a deeper flavour and attractive garnish.

  • Add a small pinch of salt to enhance both the chocolate and coconut flavours.

  • For a dairy-free version, replace the fresh milk with oat, almond, or additional coconut milk and use dairy-free ice cream.

Storage Instructions

Creamy Coconut Mocha is best enjoyed immediately after preparation.

The coconut mocha mixture can be prepared without ice or ice cream and stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Shake or stir the mixture well before serving, as the coconut milk may naturally separate.

Do not store the completed drink with ice or ice cream because it will melt and become diluted.
