THE BEST ICED WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA

When it comes to coffee drinks, no one does it better than Starbucks.

And by far one of my favorite drinks on their menu has got to be their iced white chocolate mocha.

It’s got a delicious coffee kick with just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess from the white chocolate sauce, completed with a crown of airy vanilla whipped cream.

I honestly can’t think of a better way to start off my morning! Besides having it with some churro pancakes or Aunt Jemima waffles.

So, instead of running to Starbucks every day, I decided to make my own version of the drink at home. And let me tell you, this stuff is the real deal!

This iced white chocolate mocha tastes just like the Starbucks recipe. What’s more, all you need is 5 minutes and a handful of ingredients to make it.

Seriously, once you’ve tried this iced white chocolate mocha recipe at home, I’m positive you won’t want to go back to waiting in long lines at the coffee shop. You’ll be saving yourself time and money as well as impressing yourself and your friends with your at-home barista skills!

And if you want to add another drink to your repertoire, you can master making my Starbucks salted caramel cream cold brew, this pumpkin cream cold brew, or brown sugar milk tea for a little change of pace too.

INGREDIENTS

So, you only need 5 ingredients plus some ice to make this iced white chocolate mocha Starbucks recipe. And if you don’t have everything at home already, don’t be afraid to stock up. You’ll definitely be making this recipe more than once!

Anyway, here’s everything you’ll need for this iced white mocha: 

• 2 espresso shots
• 3 tablespoons white chocolate sauce
• ½ cup 2% milk
• 1 cup ice

And for the whipped cream:

• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup

Now, Starbucks makes their whipped cream fresh in the store every day, which is why it tastes so darn good. But if you’re short on time, pre-made whipped cream would work well for this recipe too.

Or, if you want something a little more like Starbucks cold foam, you can try this sweet cream cold foam recipe! And if you want something with richer chocolate, give this mocha frappe a try.

As for the white chocolate sauce, Starbucks uses the one from Fontana. But, don’t worry if you can’t find it, you can use any brand you have available and it’ll come out just as delicious.

And of course, you can use any espresso - including instant espresso - that you have at home.

However, Starbucks also sells their espresso roast coffee beans specifically for making your own drinks at home!

HOW TO MAKE ICED WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA

Again, this iced white chocolate mocha recipe only takes about 5 minutes to make from start to finish.

Seriously, all you have to do is whisk up some whipped cream and shake the drink ingredients together.

And once you’ve got the hang of it, you could probably make this iced white chocolate mocha recipe as quickly as your local barista can!

With that said, let’s gather up the ingredients and make this creamy, dreamy iced mocha.

STEP 1: MAKING THE WHIPPED CREAM

First, you’ll want to prepare the homemade whipped cream.

Use a whisk to beat the heavy cream and vanilla syrup together until you get medium-stiff peaks. This should take about 3 minutes.

A good rule of thumb here is to start with cold heavy cream and a cold bowl for the best results. You can also use a handheld mixer to do this. It’ll only take a few seconds to reach the right stiffness with a handheld mixer, so be careful not to overbeat it.

Once your whipped cream is ready, set it aside.

STEP 2: SHAKING UP THE DRINK

Next, pour the espresso shots, white chocolate sauce, and milk into a cocktail shaker. Then, shake it up for around 10 times to combine.

Now, pour the white chocolate mocha into a cup with the ice and top it off with the homemade whipped cream. Enjoy!
