SaltedCarMochaNG

Strong freshly brewed coffee, cocoa powder, creamy coconut milk sweetened with a rich caramel sauce, topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with sea salt.

Sigh, heaven in a cup. Never would I have thought a sweet coffee drink could taste so good. This past week I enjoyed this coffee on a few different evenings and afternoons. Yes, it is that good! Fauxccino are not the world’s best food for you, but when you make them with organic fair trade coffee and cocoa powder, coconut milk and un-refined sugars like maple syrup or the sucanat found in the salted caramel sauce, then you can feel good about the occasional splurge. (Though maybe not three days in a row…) You can know that you are using the best quality, nutrient dense and mineral rich foods possible to make your treats!

With a little extra effort you can have a coffee shop right in your own kitchen. If you keep cold brew coffee, caramel sauce and whipped cream on hand you can have this drink ready five minutes!

      I’m sure you could, you may have to play with the amounts a bit but it would still taste great!

    Mmmm what a delicious treat! Could I maybe even substitute with agave instead of carmel sauce?

      The flavor would be very different. I personally don’t use agave. You might want to read Kimi’s post where she talks about agave and other sweeteners.

    This looks amazing! I am trying to post this recipe (unsuccessfully) to my Pinterest – any suggestions? The latest Nourishing Gourmet post keeps coming up rather than this particular recipe. Thanks so much!
