Warm chococcino with shortbread is a delightful and comforting treat perfect for cold days or as a delicious dessert to enjoy with friends and family. This drink combines rich cocoa flavors with the tanginess of light sour cream and the robust taste of espresso, creating a unique and flavorful warm beverage.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Brew fresh espresso coffee if you haven’t already. Set it aside for later use.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and dry cocoa powder. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Add the bread crumbs to the saucepan. Stir well to mix with the cocoa and sugar.
- Slowly pour in the milk while continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Keep stirring occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once the mixture has come to a simmer, lower the heat to medium-low and whisk in the light sour cream. Ensure the sour cream is fully integrated and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour in the prepared espresso coffee. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
- Continue to simmer the mixture for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and is heated through.
- Pour the warm chococcino into mugs.
- If desired, garnish with mini marshmallows, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of extra cocoa powder on top.
- Serve immediately alongside your favorite shortbread cookies for a delightful treat.
Tips:
- Use a whisk to combine the cocoa powder and sugar to avoid lumps in your chococcino.
- Warm the milk on medium heat to prevent it from scalding; don't let it boil.
- For a frothier chococcino, use a milk frother or an immersion blender before serving.
- Balance the bitterness of the espresso by adjusting the amount of sugar to taste.
- For an extra rich flavor, consider using whole milk instead of 1% fat milk if dietary restrictions allow.
- Pair the chococcino with homemade or store-bought shortbread to enhance the overall experience.
- Garnish with a pinch of cocoa powder or a stick of cinnamon to elevate the presentation.
Enjoy your cozy warm chococcino with a side of buttery shortbread. This combination is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and provide comfort in every sip and bite. Feel free to experiment with the recipe by adjusting sweetness or adding your favorite toppings like whipped cream or chocolate shavings to make it even more indulgent.
