Everyone enjoys a sweet treat on occasion, and the Christmas season is the perfect excuse to indulge! While you might have a few variations of the classic mocha on your hot drink's menu, consider offering your customers something truly decadent this winter with our Praline Mocha recipe.

Pralines are a delicious mix of nuts and caramelised sugar, and have been a much-loved confectionary for centuries. Combining these sweet and slightly nutty flavours with rich chocolate is a great way to satisfy any sweet tooth! If you want to offer something on your festive drink menus for the chocolate lovers out there, our recipe (or your own version of it) could be the perfect choice.

See your customers' faces light up when they order this chocolatey, coffee-infused treat!

Serves 1

Ingredients:

15ml Monin Dark Chocolate sauce

10ml Monin Praline syrup

1 shot espresso

Milk

Whipped Cream

Crushed nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans would all work well) and chocolate flakes

Equipment:

Frothing probe thermometer, frothing jug, espresso glass

Method:

Put the Monin Dark Chocolate sauce and the Monin Praline syrup into a cup or coffee glass. Add a shot of espresso and gently stir to combine.

Heat the milk to 60°C (140°F) creating some froth. Once the milk is at temperature, add it to the sauce, syrup, and coffee. Gently stir again to mix together.

Add the whipped cream on top and swirl it into a peak shape, then sprinkle the crushed nuts and chocolate flakes over it. If you to be extra-indulgent, drizzle a little more of the Monin Dark Chocolate sauce over the top.

Pass this incredibly decadent Praline Mocha to your customers and make sure to give them a spoon to eat the whipped cream on top, too!
