Imagine a deliciously decadent mocha-style drink made from an incredible chocolate syrup, complete with a whipped cream folded into it. Our hot chocolate coffee recipe is oh so tasty and perfectly comforting, no trip to a cafe required.

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1 cup baking cocoa
1 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped
8 cups hot strong brewed coffee or whole milk
Optional: Whipped cream and finely chopped chocolate

Directions

In a large heavy saucepan, whisk sugar, cocoa and water until smooth. Cook and whisk over medium-low heat until mixture forms soft peaks when whisk is lifted and resembles thick hot fudge sauce, about 35 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and salt. Transfer to a bowl; refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Just before serving, beat the chilled chocolate mixture. Add 2 cups whipped cream; mix well. Fold in remaining 2 cups whipped cream. For each serving, place about 1/2 cup chocolate cream in 2/3 cup coffee or milk; stir to blend. If desired, top with whipped cream and chocolate. Refrigerate leftovers up to 1 day.
