Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips or 3 tbsp white mocha sauce
- 1 tbsp caramel sauce
- 2 oz espresso or 8 oz brewed coffee
- Whipped cream, red sanding sugar, and pearl sprinkles (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweetened Milk: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add milk and white chocolate chips. Whisk frequently until the chocolate melts completely into the milk, creating a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Add Caramel for Toasted Flavor: Stir in the caramel sauce for an added depth of sweetness. Remove from heat and froth the milk mixture with a milk frother or whisk.
- Combine with Espresso: Brew your espresso or coffee, pouring it into a large mug. Slowly add the sweetened, frothy milk mixture over the espresso.
- Top and Serve: If you like, finish with whipped cream, a sprinkle of red sanding sugar, and pearl sprinkles for a festive touch. Sip and savor!
Tips for the Perfect Toasted White Chocolate Mocha
- Milk Choice: Whole milk gives a creamy consistency, but you can use any milk, including almond or oat milk, to suit your preference.
- Whisking Tip: Whisk the milk and white chocolate constantly to prevent sticking or burning, ensuring a smooth, well-blended base.
- Make it Sweeter or Toastier: For extra sweetness, add more caramel or a dash of vanilla syrup. Or, try lightly toasting the white chocolate chips in a dry pan before adding to the milk for a richer “toasted” flavor.
This homemade Toasted White Chocolate Mocha is a delightful blend of coffee and sweet, creamy notes, perfect for cozy mornings or holiday gatherings!
