The Cacao Coconut Cloud is a cold cacao drink with coconut water and a creamy cacao layer. It is more of a dessert drink than classic drinking chocolate: light, cold, chocolatey and good for warm days.
100% cacao works especially well for recipes like this because you control sweetness, milk and texture yourself. Compare current origins on Moruga cacao varieties.
Ingredients for 1 glass
- 15 Moruga Cacao Drops
- 25 ml hot water
- 30 ml vegan whipping cream, such as soy whipping cream
- 30 ml barista coconut milk, or barista oat or soy milk as an alternative
- 100 ml coconut water
- Ice cubes
- Optional: 1 tsp agave syrup
Preparation
- Dissolve the cacao drops completely in hot water. If you want the drink sweeter, stir in a little agave syrup now.
- Whip the vegan cream until creamy. Then slowly pour in the barista coconut milk and whip until airy.
- Add the liquid cacao to the cream-milk mixture and keep whipping until an even cacao cloud forms.
- Fill a glass with ice cubes, pour in chilled coconut water and spoon the cacao cloud on top.
Why 100% cacao works in the cloud
The cloud lives from contrast: cold and fresh underneath, creamy and intense on top. With 100% cacao, the flavor stays clearly chocolatey while coconut water and plant cream bring the texture. If you prepare cacao regularly, the Moruga Starter Kit is the easiest way to start.
