Layered Mocha                                 Recipe Level: Medium

It’s supposed to snow for Thanksgiving; here’s a drink that is perfect for snuggling on a cold day.

Ingredients

½ cup of whipping cream

½ cup of semisweet chocolate

2 ½ tablespoons sugar, divided, plus a little more for taste

1 cup hot brewed espresso

1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)

Directions

1. Place cream in a bowl and chill until very cold; about 15 minutes. Fill 4 heatproof glasses (6-8 oz each) with boiling water.
2. In a small saucepan over high heat, bring ¾ cup of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in chopped chocolate until smoothly blended. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until the mixture slightly thickens and coats the spoon in a thin layer; 3-5 minutes. Cover and keep hot.
3. Whip cream with 1 tablespoon of sugar until think but before peaks form. Mix remaining ½ tablespoon of sugar with hot espresso.
4. Drain the water from the glasses. Pour ¼ of hot chocolate into a glass. Hold a spoon, concave side down, at a 45 degree angle so that the tip of the spoon touches the inside of the glass. Very slowly, pour ¼ of espresso over the back of the spoon. Repeat for each glass. Spoon thick cream over espresso, sprinkle with cocoa powder if preferred. Serve immediately.
