Cup of Yum
Make the coffee
- In a small saucepan, combine coffee, milk, the broken chocolate bar, and the cocoa powder. Bring this to heat under low to medium heat then use a whisk to combine until most but not all of the chocolate is melted.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in the red food coloring and vanilla extract.
- Pour the latte into cups, top with the whipped cream, and garnish with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or as preferred. Serve and enjoy warm.
Notes
- Nutritional information has been provided as a guide and will vary depending on the products used. We recommend that you make your own calculations.
- When making the red velvet latte, feel free to use more or less chocolate, to suit your taste. You can also use chocolate chips, instead of a regular bar.
- use espresso for a more intense coffee flavor!
- make it extra healthy by using blended beetroot or a teaspoon of beetroot powder.
- make red velvet iced coffee by chilling the latte in the fridge instead of serving it warm.
- you can also make it diet-friendly by using a suitable sweetener, milk, and chocolate (for example, use almond milk, allulose, and some sugar-free chocolate and sprinkles for keto).
