Ingredients

Espresso (1 shot)
Heavy cream (1/2 cup)
Dark chocolate (chopped) (2 ounces)
Sugar (1 tablespoon (adjust to taste))
Cocoa powder (1 tablespoon)
Whipped cream (for topping)
Chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Instructions

Brew a shot of espresso using your preferred method and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching.
Once the cream is hot, remove the saucepan from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and rich.
Add the sugar and cocoa powder to the chocolate mixture, stirring until fully incorporated and dissolved.
Pour the freshly brewed espresso into a large mug. Slowly pour the warm chocolate mixture over the espresso, stirring gently to combine the flavors beautifully.
Top your decadent coffee with a generous dollop of whipped cream, and finish with delicate chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
Serve immediately and savor the luxurious flavors of your Versailles Velvet Coffee.
