What Does Chocolate Milk In Coffee Taste Like?
An iced mocha coffee is one of the most popular iced coffee recipes. The combination of coffee with chocolate has long been regarded as one of the best flavor pairings, in both hot and cold coffee drinks.
Typically the chocolate is in a syrup or powder form. But ultimately when combined in the glass it becomes chocolate milk. Putting chocolate milk in coffee may seem unusual, but if you enjoy mocha coffee and want an easy iced coffee recipe, my chocolate milk coffee recipe is the perfect option.
The taste is sweet, refreshing, chocolatey and icy cold – pretty much everything you could wish for in an iced chocolate coffee, plus it is super fast to make, another big plus for me.

Iced Mocha Coffee Ingredients
There is no need to buy loads of special ingredients for this chocolate iced coffee recipe. The recipe is made direct into the glass with just 4 ingredients:
- Chocolate milk: Use your favorite store bought chocolate milk, or make your own by combining milk with chocolate syrup.
- Brewed or cold brew coffee: You can use either some chilled regular brewed coffee or cold brew coffee to make chocolate milk with coffee.
- Vanilla extract: The vanilla extract rounds out the chocolate and coffee flavors and shouldn’t be skipped over.
- Heavy cream: I have included some heavy cream to add on top of the iced coffee chocolate milk drink. For something a little fancier you could also use whipped cream or a sweet cream cold foam.
If your chocolate milk isn’t sweet enough, you can also add some liquid sweetener to your cold chocolate coffee – simple syrup like this works well, or make your own.
How To Make Iced Coffee With Chocolate Milk
Step 1 – Chocolate milk
The first step is to fill your glass with ice and add the chocolate milk.
Step 2 – Add the coffee
Add coffee to fill almost to the top, leaving a little room for the cream.
Depending on the size of your glass you may want to top it up with more chocolate milk or coffee, based on whether you want the drink to be more chocolatey or coffee flavored.
Step 3 – Add sweetener and flavor
Add the vanilla extract to the glass and stir to combine. If you are using liquid sweetener, add it now and stir.
Step 4 – Add the cream
Finally, top the glass with a spoonful of heavy cream. Stir to combine, or enjoy the pretty layered look in your glass and enjoy.
