Ok, so this isn’t as decadent as the Starbucks variety. But it is A) WAAAAAY cheaper and B) WAY less bad for ya.
We made an embarrassingly large number of these drinks last summer. eepS! I changed things a bit, sometimes using less milk and more water. Not always adding the coffee. Using chocolate chips, instead of chopped chocolate. Never adding any whipped cream or topping. But, it was always super delicious and a good way to curb a sweet craving without indulging too much. (If you aren’t adding coffee, or you’re adding a powdered espresso, you may need more liquid than the recipe calls for.) It feels light and more “water-y,” if I may, than the coffee shop ones, but in a good way. To me, anyway. Try it!
Once in a rare while, we do add a homemade “magic shell” topping, but I seriously think it detracts from the experience usually.
