Craving a delicious salted caramel mocha but don't want to head to a café? You can easily make this indulgent drink right in your kitchen! Let's dive into how you can create this coffeehouse favorite with a simple, straightforward recipe.
Ingredients You’ll Need
To start, let's gather the ingredients you'll need for this delightful treat. The recipe is quite simple and uses readily available items.
- Hot Coffee: 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons, brewed strong
- Chocolate Sauce: 1 tablespoon, plus more for garnish
- Homemade or Store-Bought Caramel Sauce: 3 tablespoons, divided
- Milk: To taste (can use any variety, including dairy or non-dairy options)
- Whipped Cream: For garnish
- Cocoa Powder: For that extra touch of chocolate in your drink
How to Prepare and Serve the Beverage
The preparation process is quick and easy, perfect for a cozy morning or an afternoon pick-me-up, especially if you're a fan of salted caramel.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large coffee mug, mix 2 tablespoons of hot coffee with 1 tablespoon of chocolate sauce and 2 tablespoons of salted caramel sauce. Add milk according to your preference.
- Heat the Mixture: Microwave the mixture for 35 to 40 seconds. This heats the ingredients and helps them blend smoothly.
- Mix and Garnish: After heating, stir the mixture until well blended. Pour in the remaining hot coffee and mix. Top your salted caramel mocha with whipped cream and a caramel drizzle.
Can I Customize My Caramel Mocha Drink?
One of the joys of making salted caramel mocha at home is the ability to customize it to your liking.
- Milk Variations: Feel free to use any type of milk you prefer. Almond milk, oat milk, or even coconut milk can add a unique twist to your salted caramel mocha.
- Sweetness Adjustment: If you like your coffee less sweet, reduce the amount of salted caramel sauce or chocolate sauce. Conversely, for a sweeter drink, feel free to add more caramel sauce.
- Extra Toppings: For an extra indulgent experience, add more whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings to your salted caramel mocha.
What If I Want an Iced Version?
If you're in the mood for something cold, transforming this recipe into an iced salted caramel mocha is easy.
- Cool It Down: Prepare the coffee mixture as instructed, but let it cool down to room temperature.
- Add Ice: Fill a glass with ice and pour the cooled coffee mixture over it.
- Garnish as Desired: Top with whipped cream and caramel drizzle, just like the hot version of salted caramel mocha.
