Directions
Step 1
Brew 2 fresh shots of espresso using an espresso machine or a moka pot.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the dark chocolate and whole milk. Heat over medium-low until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

Step 4
Pour the chocolate-milk mixture evenly into two tall glasses or mugs.
Step 5
Slowly add one shot of espresso to each glass, allowing it to settle into the chocolate layer.
Step 6
Carefully spoon the whipped cream on top of the espresso-chocolate mixture to create a fluffy layer.
Step 7
Dust the top with cocoa powder for a finishing touch.
Step 8
Optionally, garnish each cup with a piece of biscotti or chocolate shavings.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent Cafe Theatre!
