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 myself) can have no trouble making fancy drinks with no barista skills.

I love making my own coffee drinks 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.

🍴 Recipe Tips

The added milk at the endof this DIY iced white chocolate mocha recipe is honestly just for looks because it adds a nice gradient color of white to brown in the glass that just looks pretty and professional. You can simply add in the milk all at once and skip this part of the recipe if you don't care about looks and just want it made a tad faster.

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.

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 into the drink. Adding hot chocolate to cold coffee too quickly will cause it to clot up and make the drink chunky.

🔪 Instructions

Check out how to make iced white chocolate mocha with these simple step-by-step instructions:

In a small bowl place choc chips and 2 Tablespoons of milk. Heat for 20 seconds and stir until the chocolate is melted.
Add the melted chocolate to your warm coffee in a separate container or liquid measuring glass. Stir to blend.
In a tall glass of ice, pour the coffee in until the glass looks half full, and then fill in the rest with all but two Tablespoons of milk.
Swirl the drink together to blend. Taste and adjust as needed by adding in a Tablespoon of granulated sugar if you want it sweeter or more coffee if you want it stronger.
Top the glass off with the remaining two Tablespoons of milk but do not swirl it in. This is for looks and is an optional step for a pretty drink.
Garnish the top with whipped cream if desired and enjoy.
