Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips (or 3 tbsp white mocha sauce)
- 1 tbsp caramel sauce
- 2 oz espresso (or 8 oz brewed coffee)
Optional Garnishes
- Whipped cream
- Red sanding sugar
- Pearl sprinkles
Instructions
- Heat Milk and Melt White Chocolate: Add the milk and white chocolate chips to a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Whisk frequently to ensure the white chocolate melts smoothly without scorching, creating a creamy base.
- Add Caramel and Froth: Stir in the caramel sauce thoroughly, then remove the saucepan from heat. Use a milk frother to froth the sweetened milk mixture until light and airy.
- Prepare Coffee: Brew your espresso or coffee directly into a large mug, making sure it is hot and fresh.
- Combine and Top: Pour the frothy white chocolate milk mixture over the espresso, then finish by topping with whipped cream, red sanding sugar, and pearl sprinkles if desired for a festive touch. Enjoy your homemade toasted white chocolate mocha!
Notes
- Use whole milk for the creamiest texture, but almond, oat, or skim milk work well too.
- If white mocha sauce is available, it can be a convenient substitute for white chocolate chips.
- Use freshly brewed espresso for authentic bold coffee flavor; strong brewed coffee is a good alternative.
- For extra frothiness, warm the milk mixture gently and froth immediately after removing from heat.
- Garnishes are optional but add a festive and indulgent presentation.
