Description
A cool, creamy, and indulgent iced white chocolate mocha made with simple ingredients like espresso, milk, white chocolate, and ice. Perfect for a refreshing homemade coffee treat in under 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 shots espresso or 1/2 cup (120ml) strong brewed coffee
- 1/4 cup (40g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole, almond, oat, or coconut milk)
- Ice cubes, as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Sweetener to taste (optional, e.g., 1 teaspoon simple syrup or honey)
Instructions
- Brew two shots of espresso or about 1/2 cup (120ml) of very strong coffee. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the white chocolate with about 1/4 cup (60ml) of milk, stirring constantly to avoid scorching. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
- Whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup (180ml) of milk and the vanilla extract. Heat gently until warm but not boiling, then remove from heat.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled espresso over the ice.
- Slowly pour the white chocolate milk mixture over the espresso. Stir gently to combine.
- Taste and add sweetener if desired.
- Enjoy immediately.
Notes
Use good-quality white chocolate for best flavor and texture. Melt white chocolate slowly over low heat to avoid graininess. Freshly brewed espresso is preferred but strong cold brew coffee works well. Freeze leftover espresso in ice cube trays to avoid dilution. Adjust sweetness after mixing. Vanilla extract adds depth but is optional. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and dairy-free white chocolate or syrup.
