I come bearing the coffee that everyone needs to properly celebrate fall! Forget about those regular pumpkin spice lattes, a white chocolate mocha is officially the MVP of fall coffee drinks.
Made from the comfort of your own kitchen for a fraction of the cost, by the way! No upcharge for doubles either.
We’re going to be using REAL pumpkin in these mochas which really sets these apart from your typical coffeehouse drink. It pairs so well with white chocolate syrup and a little bit of spice.
Now pardon me while I drink these for the next 3 months.
This Mocha Features…
- Freshly brewed espresso
- Real pumpkin puree and lots of spices
- Rich white chocolate syrup
Making the White Chocolate Mocha
(scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe)
Ingredients You Will Need
- Milk
- White chocolate syrup
- Pumpkin puree
- Vanilla extract
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Espresso
Espresso Alternatives
This mocha is definitely best made with freshly-brewed espresso, however, if you don’t have access to an espresso machine you have several options to choose from below.
- Very strongly-brewed coffee
- Instant espresso
- Cold brew concentrate (if making an iced latte)
Tips for Perfect White Chocolate Mocha
- Foam milk – you can use a foam wand or the steam function on an espresso machine.
- Use white chocolate syrup – you’ll find this in the coffee section of most grocery stores.
Recipe Variations
Try these ideas for a different twist on this latte.
- Use another coffee syrup – try a butterscotch, brown sugar, pumpkin spice, apple, or vanilla syrup in place of the caramel.
- Add chocolate – brew espresso over a square of semisweet or dark chocolate and mix until melted for a chocolate version.
- Make it dairy-free – use oat or almond milk in place of the regular milk.
Iced Latte Instructions
If you would like to make these lattes iced instead of hot, skip the step of heating the milk and pour the espresso and milk mixture over ice instead.
If you aren’t kicking Starbucks to the curb after one sip of this fall magic, I don’t know if we can even be friends anymore.
KIDDING. But seriously, get this mocha in your fall life immediately.
