Copycat Starbucks Toasted White Chocolate Mocha
Not wintertime yet but already craving a tall Starbucks Toasted White Chocolate Mocha? Look no more! This easy copycat recipe is the next best thing. You can now make this signature seasonal Starbucks drink right in your own kitchen.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups milk, regular or non-dairy
- 2 tbsp white chocolate chips
- 1 small can sweetened condensed milk
- 2-4 shots high-quality brewed espresso
To Serve:
- Ice cubes (omit for a warm mocha)
- Whipped cream
- Peppermint candy , crushed
Instructions
Make the Toasted White Chocolate Sauce:
- Remove the label of the condensed milk can, then place it in a tall pot. Add water until the can is submerged and bring the water to boil on medium high heat.
- When the water comes to a boil, turn the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2-3 hours. You might need to refill the water occassionally to keep the can submerged as water evaporates. The longer you boil the condensend milk, the "darker" the caramelization (more "toasted" flavor).
- In a small bowl, add 2½ teaspoon of the hot caramelized condensed milk and whisk together with the white chocolate chips until melted. This is your toasted white chocolate sauce.
Assemble the Drink:
- In a medium pot, add in the milk and bring to a boil.
- When the milk comes to a boil, turn the heat to medium-low and add in the toasted white chocolate sauce. Turn off the heat.
- Divide the espresso into 2 tall cups (I use 1 shot in mine but my husband prefers 2 shots)
- Pour the milk mixture evenly into the cups over the espresso.
- Add in ice cubes for a cold mocha (optional), then top with whipped cream and crushed peppermint candy. Serve immediately. ENJOY!
