    From Blue Tree’s
    Cambridge: Portrait of a Restaurant
    Recipes by sixteen restaurants in Cambridge, Massachusetts

    2 shots espresso
    ½ cup dark chocolate (68% cacao), shaved
    1 cup 2% milk
    1 teaspoon cocoa powder
    Chocolate shavings

    Makes 12-ounce cup

       

    Using a cappuccino machine, steam the milk to a frothing foam. Pour the steamed milk, holding back the foam, into a pitcher containing the shaved chocolate and cocoa powder. Whisk and reheat until hot. Pull the double shot of espresso into a cup or mug. Slowly add the hot chocolate so as not to disturb the crema. Garnish with a spoonful of milk foam and chocolate shavings.

    Stovetop Method
    Using a stovetop, whisk together the milk, shaved chocolate, and cocoa powder in a pan and heat until hot. Pour into a cup or mug over 2 ounces of very strong coffee or 2 shots of espresso. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
