Mocha Latte Sundaes!


Ingredients (yield 2 servings):
  • 1 pint coffee frozen Greek yogurt (or chocolate flavor)
  • 1 cup hot espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 cup whole milk, steamed or whisked foamy in sauce pan
  • 1/4 cup warm dark chocolate sauce (See recipe here)
  • unsweetened whipped cream (optional)
  • chocolate shavings from 75 percent or more dark chocolate
  • 4 squares of brownies (2-inch size)

Directions:
  1. If you don't have an coffee machine or a milk steamer, heat up whole milk to a rolling boil in a saucepan and whisk it to make it foamy and frothy.
  2. Microwave the brownies for 15 seconds, or wrap them in tin foil and warm up in 350F oven for 10 min.
  3. Place each brownie in a dessert cup and top with frozen Greek yogurt or ice cream. Pour 1/4 cup of the espresso and 1/4 cup of frothy milk over each serving. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of warm dark chocolate sauce. 
  4. Serve with whipped cream on top if desired and sprinkle chocolate shavings. Serve warm.
Kahlua Coffee Liqueur
Note:
  • Can also use frozen yogurt to replace frozen Greek yogurt or ice cream. Frozen Greek yogurt contains more protein and is thicker than frozen yogurt. Ice cream contains more fat from heavy cream and that's what makes it so tasty. 
  • Can use coffee liqueur, such as Kahlua, for adults. Replace 1 to 2 tablespoon of coffee with the liqueur.
  • Can use cold brew coffee concentrate, use 1/2 cup coffee concentrate and 1/2 cup water, mix and heat up to replace 1 cup of hot espresso.
  • Can use hazelnut syrup or caramel sauce to replace chocolate sauce.
  • Use hot chocolate and almondmilk instead of coffee and steamed milk for kids.
  • Can top with roasted and chopped nuts, such as pistachios, walnuts, or cashews.
  • Can top with raspberries or quartered strawberries.
  • Can top with vanilla caramel gelato for a little cold crunchiness.
