Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots espresso (or 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup or sauce
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup ice cubes

- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare your espresso or strong coffee and set it aside to cool slightly.
- In a glass, combine the chocolate syrup and sugar, if using.
- Pour the slightly cooled coffee or espresso over the chocolate mixture. Stir well until the chocolate is fully dissolved into the coffee.

Notes
- For a colder, less diluted drink, use cold brew concentrate instead of hot espresso.
- Use a dairy-free milk like oat or almond milk for a vegan option.
- To make a homemade chocolate sauce, heat 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth.
