    Ingredients

    • Coconut milk: Make this mocha with cartoned coconut milk rather than canned. Canned will be fairly thick in consistency. Cartoned coconut milk also contains less fat and calories so it's a healthier option for a mid afternoon drink.
    • Coffee: You can use instant coffee, or your favorite brewed espresso for this recipe.
    • Cocoa powder: Use unsweetened cocoa powder for that rich chocolatey flavor that works so well with the coffee.
    • Vanilla extract: This is optional, but a little vanilla adds a nice flavor and also adds a little sweetness.
    • Sugar: Brown sugar works great in this recipe, as the molasses adds a rich and complex flavor. You could use white sugar in a pinch, or maple syrup works as a great natural sweetener.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you make this drink with other milks?

    You can easily make this coconut mocha with other plant based milks like almond or soy, or you can use a dairy milk for a creamier coffee drink.

    Can you make it ahead of time?

    If you have leftovers, transfer them to an air tight container and keep refrigerated for a few days. You can reheat the drink on the stovetop to serve.

    Can you make it caffeine free?

    Yes, you can easily make this drink caffeine free, simply use your favorite decaf coffee. You'll still get the coffee flavor but without the caffeine hit.

    To Serve

    You can of course enjoy this coconut mocha as it is, but adding some coconut whipped cream and a grating of dark chocolate really brings it to life. The vegan whipped cream helps to enhance the coconut flavor and adds some extra sweetness.

    Recipe Notes and Tips

    • If you prefer your coffee on the sweeter side, you can add more sugar or your preferred sweetener.
    • When heating the ingredients, don't let the milk boil. It should be steaming and hot, but not boiling.
