    Recreating Starbucks recipes at home is super easy. Try my Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam, Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, or Starbucks Chai Tea Latte.

    I also have a delicious Recipe for Brown Sugar Syrup that is just like Starbucks'.

    Serve this fun drink with a slice of my Easy Chocolate Raspberry Tart.

    • Customize the level of sweetness to your taste

    Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

    overhead of ingredients for iced white chocolate mocha copycat recipe
    • Espresso: Any espresso roast will work. If you do not have an espresso machine, you can use instant espresso powder or instant coffee. Follow the instructions on the package to prepare. You can also substitute the espresso for ½ cup strongly brewed dark roast coffee. 
    • Milk: You can use any fat percentage of milk or even plant based milk. If you want the drink extra creamy, use whole milk. If you want the drink a little lighter, use non-dairy milk or skim milk. I love using coconut or oat milk.  
    • White Mocha Sauce: You can make homemade chocolate sauce (melt 6 ounces of white chocolate & ⅓ cup heavy cream) or use store bought. I like Torani’s White Chocolate Sauce, but any brand will work. Use 1 Tablespoon if you prefer a less sweet coffee drink. Use 2 Tablespoons for more flavor.

    Complete list of ingredients and amounts is located on the recipe card below.

    How to Make an Iced White Chocolate Mocha

    Quick Overview

    • Combine the milk and sauce. 
    • Add the espresso, ice, and enjoy!

    Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1: In a glass, whisk together (or use a frother to mix) the milk and chocolate sauce until it is completely combined.

    Step 2: Pour the espresso on top of the milk. Add ice and stir. Garnish with whipped cream and additional chocolate if desired.

    TIP - The frother seamlessly combines the milk and chocolate sauce.

    TIP - Don’t forget the homemade whipped cream. 

    Expert Tips & Variations

    • Use strong espresso or dark roast coffee. The strong bitter flavor of the espresso/coffee compliments the sweetness of the white chocolate. Espresso results in the best flavor. 
    • Taste as you go. You might prefer your drink with a little less chocolate sauce than the recipe calls for, but this is the beauty of making a white mocha at home. You can completely customize it to your taste. 
    • Use a frother to mix the milk and chocolate sauce. Using a handheld frother will help the sauce to dissolve better into the milk. 
    • Add whipped cream on top. This really makes the drink taste like a Starbucks copycat white mocha. You can make homemade whipped cream or use store bought.
    • Serve hot. Instead of pouring this mocha over ice, warm it on the stove or microwave.

      This is a really great homemade iced white chocolate mocha! I use my Ninja coffee bar because I don't have the Nespresso, but keep all ingredients the same and it turns out lovely.

      Better check the instructions overview. Unless you actually mean to add pasta, spices, and broth!?
