    This iced white chocolate mocha recipe is both easy and frugal because instead of paying someone $5 for a cup, you can DIY it for pennies. The best part? It's so much easier than you may think!

    This copycat Starbucks iced white chocolate mocha only takes a few ingredients, and none of them are too fancy or extreme, so simple at-home coffee brewers (like me) can have no trouble making fancy drinks with no barista skills.

    I love making my own coffee drinks at home and am growing quite a collection of iced drinks lately, as Florida's summer heat makes them that much more enticing during the hot afternoons. These iced white mochas really hit the spot.

    Why This Recipe Works

    1. It's delicious and easy. With minimal ingredients and steps, this is a recipe you can whip up in minutes.
    2. It is cheap. Compared to the price of a similar coffee at Starbucks, Dunkin, or another coffee shop, this recipe is a lot cheaper!
    3. Tastes great warm too! Serve it over ice or keep it in a tall mug and enjoy the taste either way. For a seasonal spin, I like to use peppermint-flavored ground coffee.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    Be careful

    Using such a small amount of white chocolate chips means that you need to be careful not to overcook them. While microwaving them is easy and my preferred way to melt them, you can melt them on the stovetop in a small pan over low heat if you want to be more cautious.

    Even adding in a small amount of coconut oil (like ¼ teaspoon) could help to make it smoother but may change the end flavor a bit in your drink.

    Multiple servings

    Depending on how much ice you use and the size of your cups, you may be able to make two glasses of white chocolate iced mocha from this recipe without doubling.

    💭 FAQs

    Does white chocolate mocha have caffeine?

    This will depend upon the type of coffee that you use. You can use decaf or regular coffee for this recipe, depending on what you like and want.

    Can I use cold brewed coffee for this drink?

    Yes, you can use cold brew, but to do this, you'll want the chocolate to cool down for a few minutes before thoroughly whisking it into the drink. Adding hot chocolate to cold coffee too quickly will cause it to clot up and make the drink chunky.

    Can I make dairy free white chocolate mocha?

    You can use a dairy free white chocolate chip (LILY's brand is available at Walmart and works well). You can also use a dairy free milk, such as almond milk or coconut milk. You may need to adjust the recipe by adding in more sweetener or milk to tone down the bitterness in the coffee since there will be fewer fats present.
