SHAKEN ICED MOCHA

My favourite shaken iced mocha is the perfect blend of bold coffee and rich cocoa, shaken with ice and creamy milk to create a refreshing and indulgent treat. The robust coffee flavor, mellowed by the sweetness of chocolate, offers the perfect balance of bitter and sweet. I love how the vigorous shaking creates a frothy texture that makes each sip smooth and satisfying. It’s  my go-to pick-me-up, combining the energizing kick of coffee with the decadent pleasure of chocolate.

INGREDIENTS USED IN SHAKEN ICED MOCHA

• COFFEE

The use of coffee in a shaken iced mocha is to provide the primary flavor and caffeine content. The coffee’s rich, robust taste balances the sweetness of the chocolate syrup and blends with the milk, creating a refreshing and invigorating iced beverage. I use Nescafe coffee to make this recipe but you can use any.

• COCOA POWDER

In an iced mocha, cocoa powder is used to provide a rich, deep chocolate flavor. It combines with the coffee to create a balanced, chocolaty taste that complements the bitterness of the espresso or brewed coffee. Additionally, cocoa powder helps to thicken the drink slightly, contributing to a smoother and creamier texture when shaken with ice and milk. Hersheys cocoa powder is used for this recipe.

• SUGAR

Sugar is used in a shaken iced mocha to enhance the sweetness and balance the bitterness of the coffee and the cocoa powder. It ensures that the drink has a pleasant, sweet flavour, making it more enjoyable and palatable. I have used this sugar.

• WHIPPING CREAM

Whipping cream in a shaken iced mocha is used to add richness and creaminess to the drink. It enhances the texture, making it smoother and more indulgent. Additionally, a dollop of whipped cream on top can serve as a decorative garnish, adding a touch of luxury and extra flavor to the beverage.

• MILK

Milk is used in a shaken iced mocha to add creaminess and balance to the drink. It smooths out the strong flavors of the coffee and cocoa, creating a more harmonious and enjoyable beverage. The milk also helps to create a frothy texture when shaken with ice, making the drink more refreshing and visually appealing. I use Nestle milk for my recipes.

TIPS TO MAKE SHAKEN ICED MOCHA

1. Allow the coffee to cool slightly before shaking to prevent melting the ice too quickly, which can dilute the drink.

3. Fill the shaker with enough ice to chill the drink thoroughly without over-diluting it.
4. Top with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra indulgent touch.
5. Pour into a chilled glass and serve immediately to enjoy the optimal refreshing taste and texture.
