Marocchino Coffee

What is a Marocchino Coffee

Although the name suggests foreign origins, this drink is absolutely Italian: to be precise, it was born in Piedmont as a variant of the classic Turin bicerin, which is prepared with espresso coffee, hot chocolate and milk cream.

How do you prepare a Marocchino Coffee?

1. Espresso: To obtain Moroccan coffee, you need to start by preparing a good espresso. After preparing it (with the coffee machine or with the moka, depending on how you are used to), pour it into a transparent glass cup.
2. Frothing the milk: At this point, froth the milk well with the steam nozzle in the coffee machine or with an electric milk frother, until you obtain a compact foam.
3. Make the coffee: Now that all the ingredients are ready, make the Moroccan coffee: sprinkle the espresso in the cup with a first spoonful of cocoa powder, add the whipped cream to fill the glass and sprinkle again with the second spoonful of cocoa powder.
4. Add sugar: Sweeten your Moroccan to taste and enjoy it, mixing the three layers of coffee, milk and cocoa well.

Variations

1. Cold Moroccan Coffee: Prepare espresso and cocoa as directed, then let cool. Add ice cubes and cold milk for a refreshing summer version.
2. Moroccan Coffee with Whipped Cream: Top your drink with a generous splash of whipped cream and a sprinkling of cocoa powder for an extra touch of indulgence.
