The rich flavors of chocolate and raspberry, combined with your favorite dairy-free milk, create a cozy and indulgent treat perfect for celebrating the day.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dairy-free milk (such as almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk)
- 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (ensure it’s dairy-free, or use melted dark chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon raspberry syrup (or fresh raspberry puree -this is the best!)
- Whipped coconut cream or your favorite dairy-free whipped topping (for topping)
- Fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)
- A sprinkle of cocoa powder or dairy-free chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Brew Your Coffee: Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee or pulling a shot of espresso, depending on your preference.
- Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan, heat your dairy-free milk over medium heat, whisking occasionally until it’s steaming and just about to simmer. If you have a milk frother, froth the milk to make it extra creamy and light.
- Mix the Flavors: In your coffee mug, combine the chocolate syrup and raspberry syrup. Stir to mix well.
- Combine Coffee and Milk: Pour your brewed coffee or espresso into the mug with the syrups, stirring to blend the flavors. Then, slowly pour in the steamed dairy-free milk. If you’ve frothed it, pour in the foam for a nice finish.
- Top It Off: Add a generous swirl of whipped coconut cream (or your preferred dairy-free whipped topping) on top. For an extra Valentine’s flair, garnish with fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of cocoa powder or dairy-free chocolate shavings.
- Sip and Enjoy: Take a moment to admire the beautiful pink and chocolatey creation, then enjoy every sip of your deliciously sweet and creamy Valentine’s Day treat!
