This White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino is oh-so delicious! The perfect Starbucks Copycat – creamy and thick, an amazing balance of sweet and refreshing.
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 coffee drink has so much flavor and is really easy to blend together.
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.
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!
