Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ orange, zested
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- ½ orange, zested
- ⅔ cup dark chocolate, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon spiced chipotle powder (or cayenne)
- 2 shots espresso (or 2 oz strong brewed coffee)
- 2 tablespoons spiced dark chocolate ganache
- ⅔ cup orange-infused milk, steamed
- 1 dehydrated orange slice, for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by warming the milk to a light simmer, then add the orange zest to infuse for about 30 minutes. Once infused, remove the zest and chill the milk until ready to use.
- Prepare the ganache by heating the heavy cream with orange zest until it reaches a simmer. In a separate bowl, mix the chopped dark chocolate and chipotle powder.
- Pour the heated cream over the chocolate mix and let it sit for a minute to melt the chocolate. Whisk until smooth and silky.
- Brew two shots of espresso or prepare 2 ounces of strong brewed coffee. Add 2 tablespoons of the spiced dark chocolate ganache into your favorite mug, then pour the coffee over it, whisking to combine thoroughly.
- Steam the orange-infused milk and pour it gently over the espresso-ganache mixture, creating a layered effect. Garnish with a dehydrated orange slice and serve hot.
Notes
- Use fresh orange zest for an intense citrus aroma and flavor.
- Choose high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa.
- Adjust the spice level to your preference, starting small and adding more as desired.
- For a vegan-friendly version, use non-dairy milk alternatives.
