Salted Caramel Mocha Latte

I have been trying really hard not to drink very much coffee and for the last 4.5 years I have done a very good job.  Only drinking it when I am visiting, where I don't want to explain why I quit drinking coffee.... But over the last couple of months I have had a craving for coffee and not just plain coffee but specialty coffees.  This also is possibly due to receiving a free sample of Don Thomas Coffee and wanting to be able to try it so that I can do a proper review.   A couple of weeks ago at our Foodie Friends Friday Linky Party, one of the other co-hosts, From Calculus to Cupcakes linked up a recipe for Salted Caramel Latte and I knew that I just had to try my own.  As I was making it I thought that chocolate would go good with it too, so hence the Salted Caramel Mocha Latte.  I did try to use chocolate squares but all I had was dark chocolate and I am not a dark chocolate fan and it was overpowering, so tried hot chocolate mix and Bingo... It worked.

Salted Caramel Mocha Latte

adapted  From Calculus to Cupcakes

For one cup:

3/4 cup double strength coffee ( I used Don Thomas Coffee)

1/4 cup evaporated milk

1 tbsp hot chocolate mix (I used double chocolate hot cocoa from Harry and David)

2 heaping tablespoon salted caramel sauce (recipe below)

heavy whipping cream for topping (optional)

extra hot chocolate mix to sprinkle over whip cream

Mix evaporated milk and hot chocolate mix together and warm in microwave.  Add hot coffee and salted caramel sauce and stir.   Whip heavy whipping cream and add to top, sprinkle with extra hot chocolate mix and pour extra caramel sauce over. 

If you are like me then take pictures before enjoying... 

Salted Caramel Sauce

adapted from The Slow Roasted Italian No fail caramel sauce

2 cups brown sugar

6 tbsp unsalted butter

2 cups heavy cream

2 tsp salt ( I used kosher salt)

Combine all ingredients in saucepan.  Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat, whisking occasionally.  Remove from heat and pour in jars.  Refrigerate. 

I did let mine harden slightly before putting it into my salted caramel mocha latte.
