How To Make White Chocolate Mocha?

1. Melt the white chocolate: If using white chocolate chips, heat them with milk in a double boiler until smooth (about 150°F/65°C).
2. Make the espresso: Brew 1.5 ounces of espresso or dissolve instant espresso in hot water.
3. Heat and froth the milk: Warm the milk to (60-70°C). Froth it if you like a creamy texture.
4. Mix the drink: Pour the melted white chocolate milk over the espresso. Stir well.
5. Top and serve: Add whipped cream on top and enjoy!

Recipe Tips:

• Use high-quality white chocolate: Cheap white chocolate chips may not melt well and can make the drink grainy. For the best flavor, use a good brand of white chocolate or a high-quality white chocolate sauce.
• Heat the milk to the right temperature: Milk should be warmed to 60-70°C. If it’s too hot, it can burn the chocolate and change the taste. If you don’t have a thermometer, heat it until it’s warm but not boiling.
• Melt the chocolate properly: If using white chocolate chips, melt them slowly with the milk over low heat or in a double boiler. Stir constantly to avoid burning or clumping.
• Brew strong espresso for the best flavor: A weak espresso will make the drink taste too milky. Use a high-quality espresso or strong instant coffee for a rich and balanced taste.
• Froth the milk for a café-style texture: Frothing the milk makes the drink smoother and creamier. If you don’t have a milk frother, shake the warm milk in a jar or whisk it vigorously until foamy.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the White Chocolate Mocha cool to room temperature first. Then, pour it into a sealed container and keep it in the fridge for up to 1 day. Stir well before drinking because the ingredients might separate.
• Reheat: Pour the mocha into a small pot and heat over low heat, stirring constantly. Warm it until it reaches your desired temperature, but do not let it boil.
