The Sweeter, Creamier Mocha
White chocolate mocha is for those who find regular mochas too bitter. The vanilla sweetness of white chocolate creates a dessert-like coffee drink that's pure indulgence.
White Chocolate Isn't Chocolate
Technically, white chocolate contains no cocoa solids—just cocoa butter, sugar, and milk. That's why it's sweeter and creamier than dark chocolate, perfect for those who don't love intense chocolate flavor.
Melting Tips
White chocolate is temperamental:
- Microwave: 15-second bursts, stirring between
- Double boiler: Gentlest method, less likely to seize
- Never overheat: It turns grainy and unrecoverable
Making It Less Sweet
If you want the white chocolate flavor without being overwhelmed:
- Reduce white chocolate by half
- Add a pinch of salt to balance
- Use unsweetened oat milk
The Perfect Topping
A generous swirl of whipped cream and white chocolate drizzle takes this from coffee to experience. A few white chocolate chips on top add texture.
