Directions
Pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan and add the chocolate chips. Warm it over medium heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate melts and everything is smooth—this usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle in the espresso powder and cinnamon, then whisk them in until fully combined. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the vanilla for a nice touch of flavor. Pour your mocha into a mug and finish it off with a generous dollop of vegan whipped cream. Enjoy!
Perfect Side Pairings
Serve in a clear glass mug to show off the beautiful layers. Top with dairy-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra special touch. It pairs wonderfully with a light vegan pastry or biscotti.
Storing Food Safely
If you make extra, store it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring well before drinking to maintain the smooth texture.
