Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 ounces high-quality white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or 2 shots espresso, cooled
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (optional topping)
Instructions
- Make the white chocolate sauce: Combine sugar, heavy cream, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Add the chopped white chocolate and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Pour the sauce into a clean jar and let it cool completely. This makes extra sauce for multiple drinks.
- To assemble one drink: Measure 2 tablespoons of the cooled white chocolate sauce into a tall glass.
- Pour the cooled coffee or espresso over the sauce and stir to combine.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the milk over the ice.
- Stir the drink well until the sauce is fully incorporated.
- Top with whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream in the sauce with full-fat coconut cream and use your preferred non-dairy milk for the drink.
- If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, increase the espresso to 3 shots.
- The white chocolate sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
