Mint Chocolate Chip Latte

  • 1 cup brewed coffee
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips
  • 1/4 tsp mint extract more if desired

Instructions

Mint Whipped Cream

  • Make your own whipped cream by placing heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, mint extract and green food coloring (optional) in the bowl of a stand mixer. With the whisk attachment, whisk for 1-2 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Place the mint whipped cream in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.

Mint Chocolate Chip Latte

  • Brew a cup of your favorite coffee and pour it into a large 16 oz cup like a mason jar.
  • In a sauce pan, place milk, heavy whipping cream, chocolate chips and mint extract. Turn the heat to low-medium and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and everything is well combined. Allow the mixture to heat up until it is steaming but not simmering or boiling.
  • Blend the chocolate mixture in a blender, use a milk frother to froth or simply place in a jar with a lid and shake it until frothy.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over top of your cup of coffee.
  • Top the mint chocolate chip latte with homemade mint whipped cream and shredded chocolate if desired.

Notes

  • Dairy-free/Vegan option: Replace the milk and heavy whipping cream with non-dairy milk like oat milk, cashew milk or almond milk (something with a thicker consistency). Replace the milk chocolate chips with dairy free chocolate chips. You can top with coconut cream instead.
  • Use Cool Whip instead of homemade whipped cream for the topping.
  • If you're making this for kids, try making this with hot chocolate as the base instead!
  • If you want to make this a boozy drink, add in something like Chocolate Liqueur or Irish Cream!
