Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the ingredients required for the Creamy Mocha Lassi. Ensure that the yogurt is thick, like hung curd or Greek yogurt, for the perfect creamy texture.
-
Blend: In a blender, combine the yogurt, milk (or water, depending on your preference), instant coffee powder, honey, and cocoa powder. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and frothy.
-
Adjust Sweetness and Consistency: Taste the lassi and if you prefer a sweeter drink, add more honey or sugar to taste. For a thicker consistency, use less milk or water, or add more for a thinner, more drinkable version.

Chill: Once blended, pour the Mocha Lassi into glasses and serve immediately, or refrigerate until you’re ready to enjoy.
-
Serve: This Creamy Mocha Lassi is perfect when paired with Indian snacks. Try it with a serving of Makki Paneer Pakora or Mangalorean Style Biscuit Roti for a full snack experience.
