How to Make Triple Layer Mocha Hot Chocolate
- Divide the chocolate chips (3 oz) and instant espresso powder (1/4 tbsp per mug) evenly among four mugs.
- Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in 2 tbsp of water until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and continue whisking for 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens into a syrupy consistency.
- Remove from heat and gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk until smooth.
- Return the saucepan to low heat and heat through, whisking constantly, until the mixture is very hot but not boiling.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the hot cocoa mixture into each mug, ensuring to stir until the chocolate chips are melted.
- Heat the remaining 1 cup of milk in a microwave-safe container in 15-second intervals, stirring until hot.
- Stir the heated milk into the remaining cocoa mixture.
- Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender.
- Secure the blender lid firmly and blend on high speed until the mixture is light and frothy.
- Evenly spoon the frothed mocha over the hot chocolate in each mug.
- Top with whipped cream and sprinkles, if desired.
