Step-by-Step Process:
Creating a Mocha Cappuccino with a Nespresso Vertuo Plus is an indulgent treat that’s surprisingly simple to make.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you craft this chocolatey delight with ease:
Step 1: Prepare Your Chocolate and Mug
Begin by selecting your favorite chocolate. For an authentic Nespresso experience, use Nespresso chocolates if available. Place the chocolate directly into your mug. This step sets the foundation for the rich mocha flavor.
Step 2: Brew Espresso Over Chocolate
Ensure your Nespresso Vertuo Plus machine is on, then load your chosen espresso capsule into the machine. Position your mug with the chocolate underneath the coffee outlet. The espresso will brew directly over the chocolate, melting it slowly and blending the flavors.
Step 3: Froth the Milk
In a froth pitcher, add about four ounces of oat milk or your preferred type of milk. Use a hand whisk to froth the milk until it achieves a light and foamy texture. This step is key to creating that classic cappuccino feel.
Step 4: Combine Chocolate and Espresso
Once the espresso has finished brewing, take a moment to stir the melted chocolate and espresso together in your mug. This ensures a smooth and evenly blended mocha base.
Step 5: Add the Frothed Milk
The final step is to gently pour your steamed frothy milk into the mug, combining it with the chocolate espresso mixture. This creates the perfect balance of coffee and creamy froth, typical of a cappuccino.
Optional: Double Mocha Twist
For a richer chocolate flavor, consider adding an extra chocolate square to your milk before frothing. This ‘double mocha’ approach amplifies the chocolatey goodness in your drink.
