A quick and easy copycat recipe for Starbucks’ Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, made with toasted white chocolate chips, strong coffee, and milk. This smoky, caramelized drink comes together in under 10 minutes and tastes just like the coffee shop version.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee or 2 shots espresso
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • White chocolate shavings or drizzle (optional, for topping)
  • Cinnamon or cocoa powder (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the ½ cup of white chocolate chips in a single, even layer on the sheet.
  2. Toast the white chocolate: Place the baking sheet in the oven and set a timer for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, pull the sheet out and stir the chips. Return to the oven for another 3-5 minutes, until the chips are light golden brown and smell nutty and toasty. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  3. Melt the toasted chips: Transfer the toasted white chocolate chips to a small saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and ¼ cup of the milk. Place over low heat and stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Blend everything together: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into a blender. Add the remaining ¾ cup of milk, ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pour in the 1 cup of strong brewed coffee or 2 shots of espresso. Blend on low speed, then increase to medium, for about 30 seconds, until smooth, frothy, and slightly thickened.
  5. Taste and adjust: If desired, add a teaspoon of sugar or honey and blend again. If too sweet, add another splash of coffee.
  6. Pour and serve: Pour the mocha into a large mug. Top with whipped cream, white chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cinnamon or cocoa powder if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Toast the white chocolate chips carefully—they burn quickly. Use a light-colored baking sheet to prevent burning. For a dairy-free version, use oat milk and dairy-free white chocolate chips. To make ahead, toast a larger batch of white chocolate chips and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
