Choco-Coffee

United States
February 4, 2017 4:38pm CST
Do you like hot chocolate? Do you like coffee? If you like both of these then I'm sure you'll enjoy having a choco-coffee as a treat. My daughter made us each one this afternoon and it hit the spot. Simply take an individual package of hot chocolate mix and put it in the bottom of your coffee mug. Then pour hot, steaming, brewed coffee over the hot chocolate mix and stir. It makes a great blend of hot chocolate and coffee. Today she added a scoop of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream on top to make it even more scrumptious ! I'm sure you could find other ways to make this treat even more decadent if you wish but without all the extra fixings it's still a heavenly treat. Have you ever had this before?

Technically, is this combination known as "mocha"? It is delicious.

@pgntwo No, it is called "Marocchino", the mocha is coffee prepared in the pot called "Moka".

@LadyDuck I had a quick look - lots of ways to make one, lots of names for it, too. Coffee and chocolate are a good mix.
Le Marocchino est une boisson savoureuse très répandue en Italie à base de café et de chocolat au lait.

@pgntwo Only one way the right one. The Marocchino was invented at the times of Cavour (around 1855) and it was called "Bicerin", the name was changed in the 30's due to a color (Marocco) that was very popular and it was the same that has the Marocchino coffee made the right way.

That sounds scrumptious indeed. I occasionally put a little chocolate in with the coffee but nothing like a whole packet. I think it would be a good dessert that way you describe.

I will remember that if I find the urge. I will also share the treat with people who like coffee. I will be a star!

It certainly is along the dessert line rather than an afternoon coffee pick-me-up but it does satisfy the urge if you want something sweet

Yes, we call this mix "Marocchino" in Italy, it was created the first time around the year 1855. We prepare it directly in the cup, pouring a hot espresso coffee over hot chocolate.

@tasoartcraft This is the correct way to prepare it, chocolate on the bottom and you pour the hot coffee over it.

Yummm it must have tasted heavenly. I can imagine. I too love choco coffee mix. Though I would prefer cold rather then hot. And then scoop it up with vanilla it's like icing on the cake.
