Ingredients

• 1 cup Freshly brewed coffee
• 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (70% cocoa preferred)
• 1 teaspoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• 0.5 teaspoon Grated dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon Extra orange zest (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam but does not boil, about 3-4 minutes. Stir often to prevent scorching.

Step 2

Lower the heat to medium-low, then add the dark chocolate chips, unsweetened cocoa powder, and granulated sugar to the milk. Whisk continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the orange zest and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Stir well until the zest is incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a heat-safe mug or serving glass, pour in the freshly brewed coffee, filling each halfway.

Step 5

Slowly pour the prepared chocolate-orange milk into the mug, using a spoon to stir gently and combine the layers.

Step 6

Optional: Top with whipped cream for a luxurious finish. Add grated dark chocolate and extra orange zest as garnish, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the soothing harmony of orange, chocolate, and coffee flavors.
