-White chocolate, coconut milk and aromatic citrus and spice combine with coffee to create a drink that is warming, rich and decadent. In brief - a winner! An added plus - if you're lactose intolerant - this is a the latte recipe for you.- Ingredients:
4 ounces white chocolate, broken into small pieces |
2/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk |
3/4 teaspoon grated orange zest |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup double-strength espresso, very hot (or your favourite strong coffee) |
brown sugar |
3 tablespoons grand marnier (1 1/2 tblsps of liqueur per mug, or to taste) or 3 tablespoons cointreau liqueur (1 1/2 tblsps of liqueur per mug, or to taste) |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together white chocolate, coconut milk, orange zest, cinnamon and vanilla extract.
2. Keep whisking until white chocolate has melted completely, and mixture is steaming-hot (not boiling) and frothy.
3. Distribute double-strength espresso between two mugs and sweeten with brown sugar (remember - the white chocolate provides sweetness, too).
4. Top each mug with 1 1/2 tablespoonfuls of Grand Marnier or Cointreau and then fill mug up with white chocolate/coconut mixture.
5. Spoon some of the froth over top.
6. Dust the top of each mug with more cinnamon.
7. A cinnamon stick added to the mug as a 'swizzle stick' is a nice touch.
