Quick & easy pick-me-up coffee recipes

Melting Mocha  ala NescaféThe party is over and morning has arrived. Rolling out of bed after a long evening of partying until the wee hours of the morning is challenge enough. Yet, coffee seems to be your most likely of friends at this stage of the game. 
 
This decadent cup of coffee is a slow sipper, velvety smooth, lavishly sumptuous and full of rich chocolate flavor to start your morning off with sweet sinful goodness. No need for a coffee pot with this five minute easy coffee recipe. With the help of a microwave and boiled water, you are good to go in the lap of luxury. 
 
Melting Mocha – ala Nescafé
2 ounces Dark Chocolate
3 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
7 ounces Freshly Boiled Water
Lightly Whipped Cream & Grated Chocolate Garnish
 
 In a small measuring cup, melt the dark chocolate with the double cream in a microwave. In a separate cup, pour the boiled water onto the Nescafé Original coffee. Stir well then pour onto the chocolate. Stir together until well mixed and pour into a large mug. Top with a spoon of lightly whipped cream and flakes of grated chocolate. Sit back, relax and enjoy.
 
Warmer weather may have your spirit a little more inclined toward sips of the chilled variety. Peach Pick-Me-Up brings in the fresh taste of peaches, the thrill of creamy vanilla ice cream in the morning and the invigorating jolt of coffee you need to start your day.
