Hazelnut Mocha Coffee

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup cold heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
  • Tiny pinch kosher salt
  • 6 ounces hot brewed coffee or decaf coffee
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons hazelnut syrup
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup

Directions

  1. Add the cold heavy cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt to a small bowl. Whisk until the cream is thick and softly billowy, stopping before it turns stiff.
  2. Pour the hot coffee into a warm mug. Stir in the hazelnut syrup and maple syrup, then taste and adjust with a little more syrup if you want it sweeter.
  3. Spoon the cocoa cream over the coffee so it floats on top. Dust lightly with cocoa powder and serve right away.
