In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a superb coffee drink to accompany any Mexican meal–It’s her Mexican Brunch Chocolate Coffee. Betty displays this drink with her Mexican Brunch Crustless Quiche–a great contrast of flavors! Ingredients: 1 cup milk 1/2 cup chocolate syrup 1/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed dash of cinnamon dash of nutmeg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup of freshly brewed hot coffee (for each serving) small container of frozen whipped topping, thawed In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup milk, 1/3 cup chocolate syrup, 1/2 cup brown sugar, a dash of cinnamon, and a dash of nutmeg. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, just until brown sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Now, pour this chocolate sauce into a small serving bowl or pitcher. To make 1 serving of chocolate coffee, pour 1 cup of freshly brewed coffee into a coffee cup. Spoon in chocolate sauce (as many spoonfuls as desired). Top with a dollop of whipped topping, sprinkle with a small amount of either nutmeg or cinnamon. Tastes great–and you get to control how chocolate-y it is!!! Note: If you like your coffee sweeter, just add some sugar (or artificial sweetener) to your cup! Added cream is also allowed!!!

Horaayy..there are 40 comment(s) for me so far ;)
@vsjcat It is 1/2 cup chocolate syrup. The complete recipe is always with the video; just click the down arrow or “more info.”
–Betty :)
I want to make this for my bf’s kids – they’ve never had coffee but really want to try it, and your recipe looks perfect!
Just one question, though – I didn’t notice how much chocolate you used. It looks like 1/4 cup but I can’t be sure.
@nailpolishaddict101 No, it will still be good without the spices.
–Betty :)
do you have to put in the cinnamon and nutmeg
@Criticsification Thanks for your sweet comment!
–Betty :)
Wow, betty looks like an angel ! :)
She seems to be a nice person =)
@ozzygodisgod I use artificital sweetener in some of my recipes to save calories–coleslaw, for exmple. It makes great diet food. My belief is that if you can substitute artificial sweetener in a recipe in place of the sugar, then you should do it. I usually go ahead and demonstrate using sugar, because that’s what most people expect, but, you can just go through any of the recipes and see if it makes sense to do the substituion. It will save a lot of calories!
–Betty :)
hello Betty I am on a diet and I have been drinking diet soda and lite items as well, I also have incorporated my daughter who is almost 3 to drink sugar free and lite drinks and possibly no sugar do you have any recipes that are very tasty but light on the sugar would love to hear from you
@darlyint Whipped topping is just sweetened whipped cream. Just chill heavy whipping cream and beat it with an electric mixer, and then add sugar or artificial sweetener to taste!
–Betty :)
hallo Betty :)
I’m Giada and I’m italian so.. can I ask what is the “whipped topping”?
thanks.
your recipes are beautiful and you seem such a sweet person,you and your husband too.
hugs from italy
I hope the chocolate coffee came out great for you! Thanks for your comment!
–Betty :)
Way cool! Thanks so much!! Bought the ingredients, can’t wait to make this. :)
It is 1/4 cup. I have changed it on the recipe in the side bar. Thanks for noticing the discrepancy!
–Betty :)
You said to add 1/4 cup of light brown sugar, but your written instructions say 1/2 cup. Which is it?
I’m thinking about the squash casserole. I would like to save seasonal things a bit. Please let me know if sugar is a problem for you in these recipes. Thanks for the comment!
—Betty :)
makes me think of xmas time Betty!!!!…can you do some Christmas recipes? i don’t know of any but ..like pumpkin pie and stuff? id love to know how to make a squash casserole.
Almost any kind of chocolate will work. Thanks so much for viewing and commenting!
–Betty :)
Looks great!
Some ingredients are missing in Russia. I will try to do it from the tiles of chocolate :)
I love coffee and chocolate, so that was a natural for me. (You may add sweetener and/or cream to your individual servings, as you would with regular coffee.) I hope you like it!
–Betty :)
OOo that looks so good! I am definitely going to try that. i just love coffee!
Actually, it’s Early American Pattern Glass. I believe the name of the design is “101″ by Duncan & Sons, circa 1885. Thanks for your compliment! I may show some of my pattern glass when I do a “making drinks” day.
–Betty :)
Betty that creamer you poured the chocolate into looks like depression glass is it??? You have the best dishware!!
Thank you for your sweet comments! And thank you for being such a loyal viewer! People like you really make what I do a lot of fun!
Take care,
–Betty :)
Chocolate + Coffee = HEAVEN! Great recipe Betty! Will be trying this one VERY soon.
I STILL look forward to your postings everyday! I watch your video’s religously, and have made several. Keep up the great videos and recipes! Your doing a GREAT job and I’m just waiting on the Food Network to hear about you. ~smiles~ Can’t wait to see what’s on the menu everyday. Have a good one Betty!
Regular whipped cream is fine! (Note that whipped topping is sweet, so you may want to sweeten your whipped cream.) Thanks for your sweet compliments!
–Betty :)
I love the language lesson that goes well with this drink. Thank you!
How much mL. of whiskey do you put in? Does it go well with a “turkish coffee” (grounds just spooned into the cup of hot water)?
My favorite coffee creamer has always been International Delight’s Irish Cream, and I have always been curious about this particular variety of creamer’s origin to which it was inspired. How very unique the original version truly is! Thank you so very much for sharing this delicacy with us, as well as the history behind it!
thank you! this was helpful.
@carolagrave : ya i agree with you. here in france, irish coffe has 3 layers … 1st layer being whisky, 2nd being coffee and 3rd of whipped cream (canned one). it looks good though but i’m sure the real one must taste much better than what we do in france.
attractive!!!! … the coffee… well diane too!
Great video. I’m glad to see that the one I make is quite traditionnal. In france, some say that you have to see the line between whisky and cofee when you’ve served it in the glass and I often tell them that it’s not the real irish coffee…can I have an Irish girl opinion?
