Make your coffee shop favorite in a larger quantity and at home with this easy crockpot recipe. An inviting vegan Mocha Coffee to entertain your friends and family! It’s a special treat for your relaxing weekends too! Hot or Iced Coffee Mocha!

Two mugs full of mocha coffee with an iced coffee mocha behind.
Do you know what I love most about this chocolaty homemade drink? It’s like Starbucks Coffee Mocha but made at home and you can enjoy it any time you want.

It’s also so simple with only five ingredients. Just ladle out a cupful and start sipping. You can also customize it by making it as strong as you like. I like intense dark coffee so that is what I use when I make mine.

It’s also a large batch (about 4 cups) so you can keep leftovers in the fridge and reheat it or serve over ice for an Iced Mocha Coffee.

When it comes to Father’s and Mother’s Day, Easter and other fun Holidays there is no doubt that this dairy-free Mocha Coffee has all the entertaining flavors possible wrapped up in one cup.

Don’t forget the iced mocha coffee option! Even hot summer needs a good coffee recipe, especially one that is appreciated at parties. Just keep this concoction in the fridge after it’s prepared and cooled off.

Take it out of the fridge, stir and pour in a nice tall glass that’s been filled with ice cubes.

Another great addition that can be added to the hot coffee mocha is Kahlua. That’s nice for quiet evenings when you’re relaxing or sharing a cozy evening with your partner or having a girl’s night in.

You don’t add the Kahlua to the slow cooker but add it to your cup after it’s just short of being filled. I have it in a little creamer in the photo below.

If you love that coffee-flavored liqueur, I have an easy Homemade Kahlua recipe you might like as well. It’s one of my most popular recipes on the blog – year round!

How to make this easy and delicious Dairy Free Caffé Mocha!

This recipe is all about convenience and having that deliciously coffee-mocha smell filling up your kitchen.

A good Mocha drink is mixing the right amount of chocolate taste with enough coffee and a tad of sweetness that perfectly satisfies.

All you need is five ingredients and a crockpot. It is just 5-minute prep work, and the slow cooker does the rest to make this Coffee Mocha Delight!

A crock pot and five ingredients measured out and sitting in front.

  • Just start with your favorite pre-brewed coffee. Don’t be afraid to use a strong brew as a base, even if you usually enjoy your black cup of Joe on the lighter side.
  • The almond milk is going to dilute it somewhat. So you want that right amount of caffeine kick when stirred in with the other ingredients.
  • Instead of using chocolate syrup, as most coffee shops do, I am keeping it healthier by adding unsweetened cocoa. It creates deep and rich tones of chocolate flavor that makes this coffee luxuriously smooth.
  • It also has incredible health benefits because it is full of antioxidants, healthy fats, and fiber. But the real secret of this ingredient, it is going to improve your mood!
  • This drink is of course dairy-free. I am adding the nutty goodness of almond milk. It adds a creamy texture with a relatively neutral taste.
  • You have to have that tad of sweetness, enough to call this a special treat but not allowing it to overpower the coffee-chocolate taste. Unprocessed and natural coconut sugar does the trick.
  • A little of this sugar will cook away, leaving just the right amount of indulgence that makes this drink guilt-free and fun!

Perfectly indulgent and you deserve it!

    This is awesome Ginny!!!! You know I am a coffee junkie! What would be a good sub for soy milk powder? Would that be like powdered instant creamer? Or powdered milk?

    1. Ginny McMeans Avatar

      Thanks Heather! That would be powdered milk – not creamer. You’re gonna love it.

    Is there a trick for not burning the coffee in the crock pot? Because the coffee has already been brewed does it taste burnt after cooking it in the crock pot again?

    1. Ginny McMeans Avatar

      The temperature does not get high enough to give it a burnt taste. It tastes really really good. 🙂

    We made this tonight and I am loving it! My husband found the recipe and wanted to make it for a party. I was a little skeptical because I’m not a coffee person, but do love a good mocha, and especially with the Kahlua, this is a wonderful treat for a cold evening! Thanks so much for the recipe!

    1. Ginny McMeans Avatar

      Yeah for your husband! 🙂 I am so glad it was a hit at your party. There is another recipe on the blog for Hot Chocolate and a little bit of Peanut Butter if you are ever looking for a non-alcoholic one. Thanks for letting me know about your success 🙂

    If I do not have soy milk powder (or any milk powder), is there a substitute?
    (PS I LOVE how this is lactose free! Mochas are my favourite drink, but they make me sick because of the milk most places use)

    1. Ginny McMeans Avatar

      Well, there really isn’t a substitute. I mean there is coconut milk powder on amazon and in some stores if you mean that as a substitute. I would think you could increase the liquid nondairy milk but I have not tried it. That is on my list. If you try it first please let me know how it goes.
