Ingredients

• 400 ml Full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Instant espresso powder
• 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 4 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, instant espresso powder, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Whisk everything together until well mixed.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture starts to simmer gently. This should take around 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.

Step 4

Slowly add the cornstarch slurry into the simmering coconut milk mixture, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.

Step 5

Continue to cook while stirring for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. The texture should be creamy and coat the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mocha mixture to cool slightly.

Step 7

To serve, pour the mocha mixture into small cups or serving dishes.

Step 8

For a swirl effect, use a toothpick or a thin skewer to create gentle swirls on the surface.

Step 9

Let it cool to room temperature or place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set slightly before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your indulgent dairy-free mocha swirl, either on its own or as a topping for other desserts.
