Ingredients

• 4  ounces white chocolate, broken into small pieces
• 2⁄3 cup unsweetened coconut milk
• 3⁄4 teaspoon  grated orange zest
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1  cup  double-strength  espresso, very hot (or your favourite strong coffee)
•  brown sugar
• 3  tablespoons Grand Marnier (1 1/2 tblsps of liqueur per mug, or to taste) or 3  tablespoons Cointreau liqueur (1 1/2 tblsps of liqueur per mug, or to taste)

Directions

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together white chocolate, coconut milk, orange zest, cinnamon and vanilla extract.
2. Keep whisking until white chocolate has melted completely, and mixture is steaming-hot (not boiling) and frothy.
3. Distribute double-strength espresso between two mugs and sweeten with brown sugar (remember - the white chocolate provides sweetness, too).
4. Top each mug with 1 1/2 tablespoonfuls of Grand Marnier or Cointreau and then fill mug up with white chocolate/coconut mixture.
5. Spoon some of the froth over top.
6. Dust the top of each mug with more cinnamon.
7. A cinnamon stick added to the mug as a 'swizzle stick' is a nice touch.
