White Mocha Recipe at Home
Indulging in a creamy, dreamy White Mocha is one of life’s little pleasures, and you don’t have to visit a café to enjoy it! With just a few simple ingredients, you can create your own warm hug in a mug right at home.
Here’s what you’ll need
- 1 cup of milk (or non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk)
- 2 shots of espresso (or 1/2 cup brewed strong coffee)
- 2 tablespoons of white chocolate chips or white chocolate syrup
- Optional: whipped cream for topping
- Optional: a sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon for garnish
Now, let’s get brewing!
- Start by heating your milk. Pour it into a small saucepan and warm it over medium heat for about 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want it hot but not boiling—aim for around 150°F (65°C).
- While the milk is heating, brew your espresso shots or strong coffee. If you’re using a coffee maker, it should take about 4–5 minutes.
- Once your milk is hot, add the white chocolate chips or syrup, stirring well until melted and combined. If you’re using chips, this may take another 1–2 minutes.
- In your favorite coffee mug, pour in the brewed espresso or coffee, then add the creamy white chocolate milk mixture. Stir gently to blend everything together.
- If you’re feeling extra indulgent, top your White Mocha with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon.
For a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of white chocolate to your taste. If you prefer a chilled version, simply let the mixture cool and pour it over ice for a refreshing Iced White Mocha.
Troubleshooting tip: If your chocolate doesn’t melt completely and you end up with clumps, try whisking it vigorously or using an immersion blender for a smooth finish.
Serving suggestion: Pair your White Mocha with a buttery croissant or a slice of rich chocolate cake for the ultimate treat! Enjoy every sip of your cozy creation!
