Hi everyone! So as the cold weather rages on, I have been turning my attention to some warm and cozy recipes. And so this week I am making a recreation of a childhood favorite. A homemade Dunkin Donut’s dunkachino.
What is Hot Chocolate Coffee?
Hot chocolate coffee or coffee hot chocolate is a drink that is composed of half hot chocolate and half black coffee.
The taste can only be described as a mix of both. The first thing that you can taste is the hot chocolate which is warm and rich and chocolaty and then you get an aftertaste of coffee.
A dunkin donuts dunkachino is the dunkin donuts version of this and it was my favorite DD’s drink as a teen and young adult.
Cosco also has a version of the coffee hot chocolate that comes in a k-cup version and also loose grounds.

How To Make The Hot Chocolate Part Of This Dunkin Donuts Dunkachino Recipe
In recipes like my christmas hot chocolate bombs I used a homemade hot chocolate using cocoa powder and sugar but for this I just used the instant hot chocolate mix for a bit of ease. You could also use k cups.
How To Make a Homemade Dunkin Donut’s Dunkachino
Like we discussed before, go ahead and make your hot chocolate first(according to package directions). This is a 14 ounce drink 6 ounces of hot chocolate and 8 ounces of coffee.
After making the hot chocolate, I used a K cup to dispense the hot coffee. You can also use instant coffee or fresh coffee grounds. This can be also topped off with some whipped cream and/ or a drizzle of caramel syrup, chocolate syrup, or cinnamon.
Can This Coffee Drink Be Served Cold?
This drink in my opinion is better served in a hot latte version but it can be served cols as an iced coffee drink over iced cubes. You can also use hazelnut syrup, maple syrup, or french vanilla syrup. This can be cold brew coffee also if you world like.
Also you can make a frozen coffee for a homemade dunkin donuts coffee coolatta.
