Mochas are already a combination of two delightful ingredients, coffee and chocolate. That’s one good combo right there. Now, a caramel mocha coffee brings in a third crowd-pleasing flavor — caramel.
So, chocolate, coffee and caramel, my favorite c-words. Now, let’s make a cold drink out of them! Here’s a recipe for an authentic iced caramel mocha coffee, a drink that goes over the top with your favorite flavors.
If you’re here, you’re probably into coffee, which means you must also enjoy chocolate. Coffee and cacao beans are kind of equally exciting. I guess that’s why mocha coffee is so popular — nothing beats the coffee and chocolate combo.
Well, I think I found a contender for the ultimate flavor combination. Coffee, chocolate and caramel coming together for a refreshing but utterly delicious iced caramel mocha coffee.
Although this drink has many layers of flavor, you only need seven ingredients, including the ice, so it’s really not at all hard to put together. You’ll need an ounce of freshly brewed espresso, another one of chocolate syrup, and a third ounce of caramel sauce or syrup. Milk will help bring all the flavors together.
At this point, the drink is already reasonably good, but let’s take it to the next level with a thick vanilla ice cream layer and whipped cream. Save some caramel sauce, to drizzle over the whole thing — this drink is fit for royalty!
To make an iced caramel mocha, you need good coffee. A few ounces of Arabica-Robusta espresso will do the trick. You’ll also need chocolate syrup, which turns the caffeinated drink into a mocha. Have whole milk or your favorite milk alternative in hand.
The caramel sauce is what takes this iced coffee to the next level. Again, purchase your favorite caramel sauce or syrup, and save some for the garnish. Talking about dressing up this drink, you’ll want to have a few ounces of whipped cream in hand.
To make this drink, brew a strong espresso and combine it with the other three flavoring agents, the chocolate syrup and the caramel sauce. Now, we want this drink nicely layered, so pour the coffee mixture into a glass and top it with ice, vanilla and whipped cream.
Unlike other creamy coffee drinks, this one comes together in the serving glass, so you don’t have to blend anything; just build the drink one element at a time.
This flavorful coffee specialty is basically dessert, so serve it after a hearty meal. Of course, you can treat yourself to one of these any time of the day, especially if you’re planning to spend the day in your pajamas in front of the TV. Let’s check out the recipe and make ourselves the most decadent mocha coffee ever! I hope you’re in for a treat!
