Ingredients

  • 120 ml milk whole, semi-skimmed or your alternative
  • 2 tsp drinking chocolate
  • 2 tsp red food colouring
  • 1 espresso shot
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 tsp icing sugar
  • Whipped Cream I used about 5 big squirts from the bottle. You need enough so that it loosens up the cream cheese.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make your hot chocolate how you usually would. I used my Lavazza A Modo Mio frother by pouring in the milk and adding my hot choc flakes and pressing the button to froth. You could also heat your milk in a small saucepan (to a steaming temp - look for the steam - not boiling!), add your hot choc and whisk. 
  2. Make your espresso as you normally do and pour into the mug you'll be using. I used a starbucks Nespresso pod in my Nespresso machine. You could start preparing your cream cheese topping now (see below).
  3. When your hot chocolate is done, add in your food colouring and give it a stir. It should be bright red!
  4. Pour the milk over your coffee. Now to make the topping If you haven’t already. 
Cream cheese topping
    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk the cream cheese and icing sugar together in a bowl until there are no lumps. 
  2.  Whisk in a fair amount of whipped cream. You want the cream cheese to almost appear similar to the lightness of whipped cream. 
  3.  Spoon it on top of your coffee and decorate if you wish. Enjoy!
