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 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strong brewed espresso or very strong coffee, chilled
- 1 cup milk (whole milk or 2% recommended)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Make the white chocolate sauce: Combine sugar, heavy cream, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Add the chopped white chocolate and stir until the chocolate melts smoothly into the mixture.
- Stir in the vanilla extract. Let the sauce cool slightly, then transfer it to an airtight container. This makes extra sauce for later use.
- To assemble one drink, combine 3 tablespoons of the cooled white chocolate sauce with the chilled espresso in a glass. Stir well to combine.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the milk over the espresso and sauce mixture.
- Stir gently to mix the layers. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a non-dairy option, use oat milk or almond milk, though the creaminess will change slightly.
- Use white chocolate chips or baking bars with a high cocoa butter content for the best sauce flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, add an extra teaspoon of sauce when assembling.
