Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ounce Mexican chocolate or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk
  • ½ cup strong brewed coffee
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine chocolate and coconut milk: In a small saucepan over medium heat, place the chopped Mexican or dark chocolate and canned coconut milk. Stir continuously as the mixture heats to ensure the chocolate melts evenly without burning.
  2. Simmer gently: Bring the mixture up to a light simmer, making sure it doesn’t boil. This helps blend the chocolate fully into the coconut milk, creating a smooth, creamy base.
  3. Remove and flavor: Once the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the strong brewed coffee, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cayenne pepper to infuse warm spice notes.
  4. Serve: Pour the warm Mexican mocha into cups and enjoy immediately for a cozy, flavorful drink perfect for chilly days or any time you crave a chocolatey kick.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, use full-fat canned coconut milk.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to taste for more or less spice.
  • Mexican chocolate often contains cinnamon and sugar; adjust additional cinnamon and sweeteners accordingly.
  • Serve with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an indulgent treat.
