Makes: 4 servings
Prep time: About 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup instant coffee
• 2 tablespoons hot water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup Weeks Honey Farm Dark Cocoa Honey
• 4 cups cold almond milk, soy milk, skim milk, or whole milk
• Ice, for serving
• Unsweetened grated chocolate, optional, for garnish

How to Make Whipped Honey Mocha

1. Dissolve the coffee. Stir the instant coffee, hot water, and vanilla together in a small bowl until the coffee dissolves. Let the mixture cool slightly.
2. Start the whipped topping. Add the cold whipping cream, cooled coffee mixture, and cocoa powder to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer.
3. Whip. Beat until the mixture is creamy and fluffy but still soft enough to spoon or pour. Stop before it becomes stiff.
4. Add the honey. Fold in the Dark Cocoa Honey just until evenly combined.
5. Build the drinks. Fill four glasses with ice and add 1 cup of milk to each glass.
6. Top and serve. Divide the whipped mocha mixture among the glasses. Add grated chocolate if desired, then stir the layers together before drinking.

Hot Whipped Mocha Option

Omit the ice and gently heat the milk without boiling it. Divide the warm milk among four mugs, add the whipped mocha topping, and stir before drinking. The cool topping will soften as it meets the warm milk.

Tips for the Best Texture

• Keep the cream cold until you are ready to whip it.
• Let the dissolved coffee cool slightly so it does not warm the cream.
• For a looser topping, stop whipping as soon as soft peaks form.
• Choose the Dark Cocoa option on the linked infused-honey product page.

Why Dark Cocoa Honey Works

Dark Cocoa Honey reinforces the cocoa powder with rich chocolate flavor while providing the honey sweetness the original recipe was built around.
