Delicious, sweet, creamy mochaccino coffee has its fans all over the world. It belongs to dessert cocktails and tastes like cocoa, so it is especially loved by the fairer sex. There are many recipes for making mochaccino, most of which are easy to make at home.
Historical background
This coffee drink was invented in North America, after which it quickly spread throughout the rest of the continent and Europe. It was prepared specifically for those who do not like strong espresso. It was especially popular among women, which is why in its homeland it is often called “ladies’ coffee.”
It is noteworthy that in European countries the Italian name mochaccino has taken root, while the Americans themselves call this cocktail mocha. This is because previously only mocha Arabica beans were used for its preparation.
Mochaccino coffee has a soft chocolate-creamy taste, while retaining the astringency and aroma of coffee beans. The drink is served both hot and cold, depending on the time of year. It is usually decorated with chocolate chips and whipped cream.
Ingredients
Mochaccino coffee contains 3 main ingredients:
- ground coffee;
- chilled milk;
- hot chocolate.
Depending on the specific recipe, the cocktail may contain cocoa, cinnamon, toppings, chocolate chips, and cream. The basis of the drink is espresso freshly brewed in a Turk or coffee machine. It is advisable to choose Arabica beans or at least a high-quality mixture of Arabica and Robusta.
Mochaccino coffee contains a standard dose of caffeine - about 40 mg. However, the invigorating effect has a delayed effect, as it is weakened by the milk content. This drink has a gentle effect on the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
Some people substitute syrup or topping for mocha hot chocolate to simplify the recipe. However, it is better to cook it yourself.
Preparing hot chocolate does not take much time, but the drink will be thick, with a rich chocolate taste.
You will need the following ingredients:
- 100 ml milk;
- half a chocolate bar;
- 50 ml heavy cream;
- cinnamon.
Milk must be mixed with cinnamon and heated over medium heat, but do not boil. Break the chocolate into slices and melt in a water bath, stirring constantly. Gradually pour cream into the melted chocolate, then remove from heat. Mix the resulting mass with milk. Hot chocolate is ready.
Calorie content
Those who are watching their figure should not overuse mochaccino. It has an increased calorie content and can contain up to 290 kcal per 100 ml of the finished drink. The specific indicator depends on the fat content of the milk used, the type of chocolate and the amount of additives. To reduce calories and maintain your figure, choose dark chocolate, low-fat milk for the recipe, and avoid cream and sweet decorations. And of course, it is advisable to drink mocha only in the first half of the day.
Difference from cappuccino and latte
Ordinary people sometimes get confused by complex coffee names and do not understand how mochaccino, cappuccino and latte differ from each other. In fact, these drinks differ in taste and composition. Mochaccino is more of a dessert cocktail, while the other two types are more caffeinated.
Cappuccino is prepared on the basis of espresso with the addition of milk and thick milk foam. Latte consists of the same ingredients, only the percentage of milk and foam changes. Sometimes syrups and chocolate chips are added to these drinks, but this is not necessary. And mochaccino has a chocolate component as its main ingredient.
Classic recipe
There are many interesting mochaccino coffee recipes, but the following can be considered a classic variation:
- 100 ml espresso;
- 50 ml hot chocolate;
- 5 tbsp. spoons of milk;
- whipped cream.
The main trick of mochaccino is laying the ingredients in layers so that they do not mix with each other. First you need to brew espresso in a Turk or coffee machine and prepare hot chocolate according to the recipe suggested above. The milk should be warmed to room temperature.
In order for the layers to be structural, the ingredients must not be poured in, but added with a spoon or silicone spatula. Try to lay layers from a small distance and with slow movements
The first layer of hot chocolate is poured into the glass, it is covered with milk, and then espresso. The finishing touch is to decorate the cocktail with whipped cream, as well as cinnamon or chocolate chips.
Mochaccino is traditionally served in tall glass glasses or Irish glasses with a volume of 200-250 ml. Transparent glassware allows you to enjoy not only the taste, but also the beauty of the cocktail. In a coffee shop, a mochaccino must be served with a straw, which allows you to maintain the layering of the drink.
Turkish recipe with cocoa
In the East, mocha is prepared according to a different recipe, using cocoa instead of hot chocolate. You will need:
- 200 ml warm milk;
- 2 teaspoons ground coffee;
- 3 teaspoons cocoa powder;
- 50 ml water;
- 50 ml heavy cream;
- sugar and vanillin to taste.
Mix cocoa, ground coffee, sugar and spices. Pour the mixture with boiled water in a Turk and heat over low heat.
Add milk, cream and cook the drink until fluffy foam appears.
Alcohol recipe
Men will probably love the recipe for mochaccino with the addition of cognac. To prepare it, take:
- 200 ml water;
- 30 g coffee;
- a pinch of vanillin and nutmeg;
- ½ tablespoon of cognac;
- 3 teaspoons cocoa;
- 2 teaspoons sugar;
- 10 ml cream.
In a Turk you need to brew espresso with nutmeg. Vanillin is added to the hot drink and given time to completely dissolve. Place cocoa powder and sugar at the bottom of the glass and pour hot coffee on top. Mix everything thoroughly. Now is the time to add cognac and decorate the cocktail with whipped cream.
Cooling mocha with ice
The classic mochaccino recipe can be transformed into a cool summer drink. You will need the same ingredients and crushed ice. Brew 50 ml espresso, prepare hot chocolate and whisk the milk until foamy.
Place ice in the bottom of the glass, add whipped milk and chocolate.
Lastly, pour in a thin stream of coffee. You can add a scoop of ice cream to the cocktail and garnish with cream or chocolate chips.

If so, mochaccino coffee is the drink for you. In its classic version, in addition to the usual rich taste of Arabica and milk, you will feel the soft taste of chocolate or chocolate syrup.

What is mochaccino and history of origin
Mochaccino coffee is a delicate creamy chocolate dessert drink with an exquisite taste and chocolate-coffee aroma. You can find out what it is only by trying the unusual layered cocktail. Some call it a “ladies' drink,” while others consider it a dessert for those with a sweet tooth, but real coffee connoisseurs know: the delicate taste of natural Arabica, mixed with notes of real chocolate and soft thick cream, is an amazing combination that will delight any gourmet.
There are two types of cocktail:
- American mocha.
- European mochaccino.
We owe the appearance of this drink to the Americans, or, more precisely, to the capricious clientele of American bars and coffee shops of the second half of the last century. Many visitors did not like the bitter taste of espresso, but they appreciated the invigorating and refreshing effect that appeared after each serving.
North Americans of the time were fast-moving, business-minded people who seized on the opportunity to easily increase their productivity and recharge their batteries during their lunch break. Therefore, they did everything possible to make their favorite drink more suitable for their tastes.
This is exactly the task that fell on the shoulders of American baristas - and they coped with it excellently. First, they began to add chocolate chips to espresso, using other sweeteners and milk and cream to soften the taste. And then they just started adding chocolate syrup to the coffee.
The public liked the taste of the drink so much that the recipe instantly spread throughout America. This happened so quickly that the names of the first baristas who decided to experiment did not remain in history.
Important! The traditional American name for the cocktail, Mocha, was named after the Yemeni Arabica variety, Mocha.
Like all new products, mochaccino coffee quickly crossed the ocean and became very popular in Europe. It should be noted that not only the recipe was changed, but also the name of the classic American cocktail. If in the original the residents of the States called it exclusively “Mocha” - in honor of the type of coffee from which it was prepared according to the classic recipe, then in Europe this name was never used so as not to create confusion with the coffee variety of the same name.
Note! The name “Mocaccino” was invented by the Italians; previously in Europe this drink was called nothing more than “Chocolate latte.”
Mochaccino came to Russia from Europe, since our country has been actively adopting the European coffee tradition over the past decades. Therefore, we immediately got used to the name “Mokachino” and the recipe, which in fact is not classic for this drink.
Traditional American mocha
Prepare traditional mochaccino coffee American recipe not difficult. The original mocha is made from espresso, always from grain variety"Mocha" For its preparation, only chocolate syrup is used, without replacing it with other analogues. In addition, the drink is decorated with whipped cream.
Important! The classic recipe used syrup, not chocolate or cocoa.
Classic European mochaccino
Mochaccino according to the European recipe is a more refined and varied drink, numbering several dozen interesting varieties. Europeans are generally more inclined to experiment, thereby introducing a pleasant inconsistency into the coffee tradition.
Ingredients for European mochaccino may vary. The standard set is as follows:
- Strong coffee - not only Arabica, but also any other varieties.
- Milk - in the European version, or “Chocolate Latte”, as it was called, there is almost twice as much as in the traditional American one. Europeans love softer coffee drinks.
- Chocolate syrup, or melted chocolate, or even cocoa - there are no restrictions on this matter.
- Whipped cream.
- Decorations - cinnamon, grated chocolate or nuts, caramel.
Note! It was from the Europeans that we adopted their love for various mochaccinos; today in Russian coffee shops you can try a dozen unusual varieties of this cocktail.
Cappuccino, mochaccino and latte: what's the difference?
Many people love coffee, but do not delve into the specifics of coffee-based cocktails at all, and do not see the difference between them. But it exists, and often plays an important role. So it is with mochaccino coffee - how does it differ from other popular cocktails.
It should be noted that this drink is closest in composition to cappuccino and latte:
- Mochaccino coffee differs from cappuccino in that almost twice as much milk is added to it, as well as chocolate or chocolate syrup. It is also decorated with whipped cream, which is not usually done with cappuccino; in rare cases, its surface is covered only with bulk additives: cinnamon, nuts or chocolate chips. Otherwise, these drinks are similar.
- As for latte, mochaccino differs from it much less than the same cappuccino from latte. It's all about the proportions in which milk is added to the base portion of coffee: there is much more of it in a latte than in a cappuccino. And in mochaccino - about the same. The difference between a latte and a mochaccino is the presence of chocolate. It’s not for nothing that at first it was called “Chocolate Latte.”
Note! The traditional American Mocha is more similar to the cappuccino we are used to - it also contains less milk. But the European recipe clearly resembles a latte.

Traditionally made from strong espresso, milk cream and chocolate glaze (white, black or milk) or cocoa. Previously, only Arabic coffee beans were used to prepare the drink, hence its name.
A characteristic feature of the drink is the thick milk foam, which is obtained thanks to whipped cream.
