A cozy, indulgent autumn drink featuring toasted marshmallows, rich chocolate, and espresso, perfect for crisp fall mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 shots espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee (about 60ml / 2 fl oz)
- 1 cup milk (240ml / 8 fl oz), whole milk preferred, 2% or oat milk optional
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (30ml / 1 fl oz)
- 6 large marshmallows or about 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (2.5ml / 0.08 fl oz)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (12g / 0.42 oz)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, extra marshmallows, cocoa powder
Instructions
- Brew two shots of espresso or about ½ cup of strong coffee.
- Toast marshmallows on a heatproof plate or directly in your mug using a kitchen torch until golden and bubbly, or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes watching carefully.
- Warm milk gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat or microwave for about 1 minute until hot but not boiling. Froth milk using a frother, whisk, or by shaking in a jar.
- Pour espresso or coffee into the mug with toasted marshmallows. Add chocolate syrup, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to combine.
- Slowly pour frothed milk over the coffee mixture, holding back foam with a spoon. Top with foam and optional whipped cream, extra marshmallows, or cocoa powder. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use a kitchen torch for best marshmallow toasting control. Adjust sweetness by varying brown sugar and chocolate syrup. Froth milk well for a creamy texture. Coffee base can be prepared ahead and stored up to 2 days; always toast marshmallows and froth milk fresh before serving.
