Ingredients
  

For the White Chocolate Sauce
  • 4 ounces white chocolate chopped
  • ½ cup milk or cream
For the White Chocolate Mocha
  • 2 ounces brewed espresso
  • 1 cup half & half substitute milk or your favorite plant based milk
  • 1-2 tablespoons white chocolate sauce
For Garnish
  • ice
  • whipped cream
  • white chocolate shavings

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Tall glass
  • Milk frother

Method
 

  1. Finely chop the white chocolate and place it into a large bowl.
  2. Place the milk or cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until hot to the touch but not boiling.
  3. Pour the hot milk or cream over the chopped white chocolate and let it sit for about two minutes.
  4. Using a spatula, gently mix until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is combined and smooth. It will be runny and thicken slightly as it cools. Store in the fridge for up to a week; you may need to reheat to make it runny again.
  5. Brew a double shot of espresso and pour it into a tall glass over ice.
  6. In a separate glass or bowl, combine your milk of choice with 1 tablespoon of white chocolate sauce. Use a handheld milk frother to combine fully. Taste and add more chocolate sauce if desired.
  7. Pour the white chocolate milk over the espresso and ice.
  8. Top with whipped cream and white chocolate shavings, if desired.

Notes

For a peppermint twist, add ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract to the milk and top with crushed peppermint candies. For a boozy version, add 1 ounce of cream liqueur. To make a hot version, heat the milk and froth before adding to the espresso.
