This ceremonial mocha recipe combines coffee with ceremonial cacao, warming spices, and optional healthy fats for a rich, balanced morning drink. Unlike traditional mocha made with sugary chocolate syrup, this version uses whole ceremonial cacao paste for a deeper chocolate flavor and steadier energy. Blend everything together for a smooth, café-style mocha that feels both nourishing and indulgent.
Ingredients
1 cup freshly brewed coffee (pour-over or your favorite method)
15 grams ceremonial cacao paste (I love WANA HEY ceremonial cacao roses)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (or to taste)
A pinch of warming spices (cinnamon, cardamom, or cayenne pepper)
A pinch of sea salt
Optional addition: 1 teaspoon tahini for an extra creamy mocha — alternatively coconut oil, butter, or a splash of your favorite creamer or milk
Instructions
Brew your coffee.
Add all ingredients to a blender. (If using a hand frother, add a splash of coffee first, froth until creamy, then pour in the rest.)
Blend for 10–15 seconds until smooth and frothy.
Pour into your favorite mug.
