When espresso is complemented by creamy, smooth white chocolate to create an indulgent white chocolate mocha that’s the definition of a comfort drink.
Ingredients & Requirements
- 3/4 cup whole milk, or low-fat
- 3 tablespoons white chocolate chips or white chocolate sauce
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee or 2 shots of espresso. (Morning Dew Gourmet)
- 1 teaspoon sugar, optional
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream, for garnish
- Dash ground nutmeg, for garnish
Tips
For the best espresso, start with whole beans and freshly grind them for the best flavor. Pre-ground espresso can also be used if necessary, but may not have the same bold flavor.
How to make your own whipped cream:
- ½ cup cold heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
- 1 Tablespoons confectioners’ sugar or granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
How to whip it up:
Using a hand mixer, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until medium peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag for topping your drinks, or spoon it on top. Cover the rest in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
How to make your own white chocolate sauce:
In a small pot over low heat, heat heavy cream until it is bubbling around the edges of the saucepan.
Remove from heat and use a whisk to stir in white chocolate and butter until combined and smooth.
Transfer to a heat-proof container and store in the fridge to cool.
