Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
1 can (13.5 oz) full
fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
Coffee syrup, for drizzling
Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine almond milk, cocoa powder, erythritol, and ground cinnamon. Heat over medium heat until it comes to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Once the mixture is warm but not hot, add the vanilla extract. Whisk gently to combine. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
Once cooled, gradually whisk in the chilled coconut milk, ensuring a smooth consistency. Chill the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight.
To assemble the mocktail, pour the prepared Tres Leches mixture into two glasses. Gently spoon whipped heavy cream on top, allowing it to cascade over the sides of the glass.
Drizzle coffee syrup over the whipped cream and finish with a light dusting of cocoa powder. Serve immediately.
