Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings: 1 drink
Course: Beverage

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 shots espresso freshly brewed (or strong brewed coffee, cooled)
  • 2 tablespoons white chocolate syrup store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy such as almond, oat, or soy
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • whipped cream for topping, optional
  • white chocolate shavings or drizzle for topping, optional

Equipment

  • Espresso machine (optional for strong brewed coffee)
  • Tall glass or cocktail shaker

Method
 

  1. Start by brewing 1-2 shots of espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, use strongly brewed coffee that has been allowed to cool completely. This forms the robust coffee base of your mocha.

  2. In a tall glass or cocktail shaker, combine the 2 tablespoons of white chocolate syrup with your chosen milk. Stir well to ensure the syrup is fully incorporated into the milk. This creates the sweet, creamy foundation for your drink.

  4. If using a shaker, secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled and slightly frothy. If not using a shaker, you can stir all ingredients together directly in the glass until well combined and chilled.
  5. Pour the mixture into your serving glass. If desired, top generously with whipped cream and sprinkle with white chocolate shavings or a drizzle of melted white chocolate for an extra touch of decadence.

Notes

Leftover Iced White Chocolate Mocha Recipe can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. It’s best to store the drink without the whipped cream topping to prevent it from becoming watery. Reheating is not recommended as this is a cold beverage; instead, if you have any remaining, simply add more ice and give it a good stir before enjoying it again. For longer storage, you can freeze the un-topped mocha mixture in ice cube trays. Once frozen, pop the mocha ice cubes into a blender with a splash of fresh milk and blend until smooth for a quick, ready-to-drink treat later.
