Ingredients
- 1 shot espresso

Instructions

- Slowly pour the cold milk over the ice and espresso mixture, stirring gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Using a whipped cream dispenser or store-bought whipped cream, top the beverage generously with a thick layer of whipped cream.
- Optional: Drizzle additional white chocolate sauce on top of the whipped cream for extra indulgence and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately with a long straw and enjoy your homemade Iced White Chocolate Mocha.
Tips
- Espresso Quality: Use high-quality coffee beans for your espresso to enhance the overall flavor of your drink. If you don’t have an espresso machine, a strong brewed coffee can work in a pinch.
- White Chocolate Sauce: For the best results, use a premium white chocolate sauce or make your own by melting white chocolate with a little cream. This will give your mocha a richer flavor.
- Chill Your Glass: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before preparing your drink. This helps keep your mocha cold longer.
- Customize Your Milk: Feel free to experiment with different types of milk, such as almond, oat, or coconut milk, to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs.
- Whipped Cream: Don’t skimp on the whipped cream! A generous topping not only adds creaminess but also makes your drink look irresistibly inviting.
- Garnish: For an extra touch of elegance, sprinkle some cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream along with a drizzle of white chocolate sauce.
- Make It a Batch: If you’re serving friends, simply multiply the ingredients to make several servings at once, and enjoy a café experience together!
