Tips

Make it in the microwave: 

  1. Follow the same instructions as for the stovetop method to prepare 1-2 shots of espresso or dissolve 1-2 teaspoons of instant espresso powder in hot water.
  2. In a microwave-safe container, combine the milk, heavy cream, chocolate, agave nectar, and espresso. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is steaming hot. Be cautious not to overheat and cause it to boil over. Continue this process until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Transfer your hot chocolate coffee drink into a mug and enjoy! Customize it with your favorite toppings.
