Spiked Hazelnut Mocha

Winter days are made so much more fun when celebrations are on the agenda and I think this Spiked Hazelnut Mocha recipe we created is the most delicious way to warm-up cold wedding guests! The patterned people and I love the hazelnut, coffee-chocolate combination – because let’s face it, it’s a little like your favourite chocolate spread in a drink!

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 30 ml Frangelico liqueur
  • 10 ml cold drip coffee liqueur (we used Mr Black)
  • 15 ml hot espresso
  • Whipped cream
  • Toasted hazelnut pieces

Method:

In an ovenproof bowl over a saucepan of boiling water, melt chocolate chips with milk and vanilla bean paste, whisking to remove lumps for a smooth liquid consistency.

Remove from stove and stir in Frangelico, cold drip coffee liqueur and hot espresso.

Top with whipped cream and toasted hazelnuts.
