- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 shot Espresso or strong coffee
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar (optional)

- 1 tablespoon Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the dark chocolate and set it aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scalding.
Step 3
Once the milk is warm (but not boiling), add the chopped dark chocolate and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
If you prefer a slightly sweeter latte, whisk in the granulated sugar until dissolved.
Step 5
Brew one shot of espresso or strong coffee using your espresso machine, French press, or coffee maker.
Step 6
Pour the prepared chocolate milk into a mug, leaving a little room at the top for the espresso.
Step 7
Slowly pour the shot of espresso over the chocolate milk and stir gently to combine.
Step 8
Optionally, top with whipped cream and garnish with dark chocolate shavings for an extra touch of indulgence.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Dark Chocolate Latte!
