Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup dry tapioca pearls (boba)
2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2–3 tablespoons sugar or sweetener
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
Optional toppings: whipped cream
Optional toppings: mini marshmallows
Optional toppings: chocolate shavings
Optional toppings: light dusting of cinnamon
Instructions
Cook the boba: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the tapioca pearls and simmer 15–20 minutes, until they’re soft with a slight chew. Remove from heat and let stand 5–10 minutes. Drain and toss with a splash of simple syrup or a tiny drizzle of honey so they stay glossy and tasty until you drink.
Warm the cocoa base: In a small saucepan, whisk cocoa powder, sugar, and a few tablespoons of the milk to form a smooth paste. This prevents clumps. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium, stirring often, until the mixture is hot and steaming but not boiling.
Build the flavor: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla (and optional almond extract if using). Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Assemble: Divide the cooked boba pearls between two mugs. Ladle in the hot chocolate, letting the pearls swirl up from the bottom as you pour.
Finish and enjoy: Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon or chocolate shavings, and a few marshmallows if you like. Serve hot with a wide straw to scoop up pearls with every sip.
Notes
A cozy fusion beverage that blends rich hot chocolate with chewy tapioca pearls (boba) and a hint of vanilla for a comforting, night-in treat.
