A rich and creamy white chocolate mocha that combines melted white chocolate with bold espresso and frothed milk for a cozy cafรฉ-style drink you can make at home in under 5 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 shot (1 oz / 30 ml) freshly brewed espresso or 1/4 cup (60 ml) strong brewed coffee
  • 2 ounces (56 grams) white chocolate chips or chopped bars
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (can substitute oat or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 12 teaspoons sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • Cocoa powder or white chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 shot (1 oz / 30 ml) of espresso or about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of strong coffee. Pour into a heatproof mug and set aside.
  2. Melt 2 ounces (56 grams) of white chocolate chips or chopped bars in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between.
  3. Heat 1 cup (240 ml) of milk on the stovetop or in the microwave until hot but not boiling (about 150ยฐF/65ยฐC). Froth the milk using a milk frother or whisk vigorously to create light foam.
  4. Pour the melted white chocolate into the mug with espresso and stir well until fully blended.
  5. Slowly pour the frothed milk into the chocolate-coffee mixture, holding back foam with a spoon, then spoon the foam on top.
  6. Add 1-2 teaspoons sugar and/or 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract if desired, and stir gently.
  7. Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder or white chocolate shavings, and a pinch of sea salt if desired.

Notes

Melt white chocolate slowly over low heat to avoid burning. If white chocolate seizes, add a teaspoon of warm milk and stir until smooth. Heat milk to about 150ยฐF (65ยฐC) for best frothing results. You can shake hot milk in a sealed jar if no frother is available. Adjust sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of your white chocolate.
