You know how chilly it was yesterday, right? Out of the blue comes this cold blast of weather…which made me crave a cafe mocha, a craving I successfully fought off all day long. For some reason I kept wanting to sit outside at a little coffee shop with the dog and drink a cafe mocha. I don’t know why.
So…after dinner, after a bath, after watching golf on TV, I got up from the couch and pulled out my old espresso maker and made myself a cafe mocha. I mixed a little slurry of Hershey’s dark chocolate syrup with a dash of half-and-half in the bottom of my favorite espresso mug. Then I whipped about 1/4 cup of heavy cream and a pinch of sugar like Suzanne taught me. I poured the espresso into the slurry, topped it with my whipped cream, and shaved some flakes of Lindt chocolate on top, and voila!
And this is what Deb made for herself. I doubt there’s any chocolate left in the Hershey’s bottle.
