What You Will Need For This Vegan Mocha Latte

Kitchen Essentials:

This is a latte so you’ll need an espresso maker or you could opt for a strong cup of coffee. Both will be delicious. The real star of the show here is the chocolate syrup.

You will definitely need a milk frother. I use the Nespresso Aeroccino and I love it because you can froth the milk cold or steam it! But a handheld one will work as well just make sure you heat up the milk before frothing.

Main Ingredients:

Cocoa Powder
Cane Sugar
Espresso or Strong Coffee
Plant Milk of Choice
Canned Coconut Milk
Coconut Shreds

Substitutions:

Espresso: Strong coffee will work as well.
Cane Sugar: Any sugar will work here. I used granulated sugar but you can use raw turbinado sugar or light brown sugar.
Canned Coconut Milk: You can simply leave this out but I loved the addition of it because it made the coffee super super creamy and gave it a nice subtle coconut flavor.
Toasted Coconut: This is a garnish and I loved the crunchy topping (don’t mix it in or it’s weird) but if you don’t have any just leave it off and give it a nice drizzle of chocolate sauce.

FAQ:

What milk frother is best?

I use the Nespresso Aeroccino and love it but any frother you have will work. The most important thing is getting a plant milk that froths well.

Which non-dairy milk froths the best?

You want a thicker milk. Thin watery plant milks will not froth and they will become bubbly very fast. My favorites are Silk Soy Milk, Almond Breeze Almond Milk, and Planet Oat Oat Milk.

Which espresso machine do you use?

I use a Nespresso Breville Vertuo and I love it so much! Highly recommend.

Is this mocha latte super sweet?

This mocha latte is as sweet as you want it to be. It’s a very sweet sauce but it’s perfect paired with the espresso and unsweetened plant milk. You can add as much or as little as you want to create your desired level of sweetness.

How long will the chocolate sauce keep?

You can store the chocolate sauce in the fridge for up to a week.
