I’m a coffee person, I cannot start my day without at least one cup of coffee. Usually homemade out of the coffee pot, normal person stuff. But, the white chocolate mocha is my absolute favorite.

I like to switch things up and make fun variations of coffee drinks that you could get at your local coffee shops like this.

And this white chocolate mocha recipe is pretty much spot on to the original. Seriously, white chocolate drinks are my obsession. This is probably my favorite coffee drink.

This coffee drink has so much flavor and is really easy to blend together. Think about that the next time you’re gonna buy one.

I like a nice iced white chocolate mocha once in a while, especially when the weather is always warm like here in Florida.

But there is something extra special when you make it into a Frappuccino. Talk about rich layers of flavor! Be your own Starbucks barista.

The best thing about this Starbucks drink version is there are no fancy ingredients needed, not even white chocolate syrup. Don’t have espresso or an espresso maker? No problem, use strong coffee!

No need for an espresso machine. If you are a coffee and chocolate lover, then you absolutely are going to be blown away with this White Chocolate Mocha – frappuccino style!

WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS?

That is absolutely fine, you can still make this copycat recipe, substitute the white chocolate chips with semi-sweet chocolate chips. 

This is a great alternative and gives you more of a chocolate taste if you would rather have that than real white chocolate.

I DON’T HAVE ESPRESSO, WHAT CAN I DO?

No worries if you do not have any espresso, you can brew some strong coffee and use that.

We know now everyone has espresso on hand.

This will make it less potent but you will still have that coffee flavor shine through!

You can also use instant espresso.

CAN I MAKE MY OWN WHIPPED CREAM?

Absolutely!

If you enjoy making your own whipped cream or are making some for another recipe you can absolutely use that for this drink.

Otherwise, regular cool whip or Reddi-Wip will work for this recipe.

Just use what you like or have on hand, it is an optional garnish!

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

I’m imagining that layer of silky foam… Here are some ideas for subs!:

• Whole milk, almond milk, oat milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, or heavy cream can be used in place of half-and-half
• Espresso can be subbed with instant espresso, black coffee, cold brew coffee (heated), or strong-brewed coffee.
• Use homemade whipped cream or whipped topping in place of canned whipped cream.
• Some hot milk instead of half and have if you want it a bit lighter. You can go with non-dairy milk too if you like.
• Use any flavor chocolate chips in place of white for a fun twist.

ANY ADDITIONS?

Not need to stick with the original recipe, here are some options:

• Garnish of sprinkles, chocolate chips, or chocolate shavings
• Add some creamy white chocolate sauce for even more white chocolate flavor
• Drizzle caramel, white mocha sauce, or chocolate sauce on top.
• Some coconut oil for a tropical twist.
• An extra shot of espresso.
• More smooth white chocolate to make it a little extra.
• Add a little sugar if the white chocolate mixture isn’t sweet enough for your tastes.

This you really don’t want to store, it is usually made to drink right away.

If you happen to make more, you can put it in a freezer bag and place it in the freezer.

This will keep for up to 24 hours. You can remove it from the refrigerator and let defrost until pourable in the refrigerator.
