Instructions
Prepare the Espresso:
- Brew a fresh shot of espresso or make 1/4 cup of strong coffee if you don’t have an espresso machine.
Heat the Milk:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it’s steaming but not boiling. Stir occasionally to avoid scalding.
Melt the White Chocolate:
- Add the white chocolate chips to the milk in the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and blended, creating a smooth, creamy mixture.
Froth the Milk (Optional):
- If you prefer a foamy texture, use a milk frother or whisk to froth the milk until it’s light and airy.

Garnish and Serve:
- Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of white chocolate shavings if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade White Chocolate Mocha!
