Welcome to coffee heaven! This Homemade Starbucks Iced White Chocolate Mocha is a luxurious blend of bold espresso, velvety white chocolate, and creamy milk, all served over ice for a refreshing twist. Inspired by the popular Starbucks beverage, this homemade version allows you to enjoy your favorite coffeehouse indulgence without leaving your kitchen.
For the perfect brew, we recommend using a medium-dark roast espresso blend, freshly ground just before brewing. The robust coffee flavor pairs beautifully with the sweetness of white chocolate, creating a harmonious balance. Our recipe uses a double shot of espresso for an extra kick, but feel free to adjust to your taste. The key to achieving that signature Starbucks creaminess is in the milk - we use a combination of whole milk and half-and-half for ultimate richness.
