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!
Melt chocolate. Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth, about 1 minute total.
Build base. Add the melted white chocolate to a large drinking glass. Pour in the hot or warm brewed coffee and stir well to fully dissolve the chocolate.
Chill. Add the ice cubes to the glass.
Finish. Pour in the milk and stir until fully combined.
Serve. Garnish with whipped cream if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Melting tip. Heat white chocolate gently to prevent scorching. A small amount of coconut oil, about ¼ teaspoon, can help smooth the texture if needed.
Yield. This recipe can make two smaller drinks depending on cup size and ice amount.
Cold brew option. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before mixing with cold brew to prevent clumping.
