Cocolatte
- 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)
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together white chocolate, coconut milk, orange zest, cinnamon and vanilla extract.
- Keep whisking until white chocolate has melted completely, and mixture is steaming-hot (not boiling) and frothy.
- Distribute double-strength espresso between two mugs and sweeten with brown sugar (remember - the white chocolate provides sweetness, too).
- Top each mug with 1 1/2 tablespoonfuls of Grand Marnier or Cointreau and then fill mug up with white chocolate/coconut mixture.
- Spoon some of the froth over top.
- Dust the top of each mug with more cinnamon.
- A cinnamon stick added to the mug as a 'swizzle stick' is a nice touch.
