Starbuck’s White Chocolate (or peppermint) Mocha Recipe

I know I said I was going to do this awhile ago..but I needed to test taste some more!! That and I forgot.If you want some thing really sweet this is it. It is definitely a dessert drink and for me, anyway, a venti is too much.Ghiridelli has white chocolate syrup in a big pump bottle, and sometimes you can get it online but if you don’t want to commit to that then just use a good quality white chocolate.Brew some good, strong coffee.

Whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Add sugar to taste and 1/2 tsp vanilla. If you are going to use (shudder) Readi-whip get the french vanilla flavored kind.

Take 1/2 c heavy cream(unwhipped) , bring it to a simmer but do not boil. Remove from heat and melt 1/3 c white chocolate in it.

Add 1/2 c whole milk (or half and half-I like half and half)

Use hot water to rinse your cup. Pour white chocolate mixture to fill halfway, finish filling with coffee. Dollop cream on top. Read through Baking Delights while sipping.

If you like the peppermint mocha that is accomplished with adding a little peppermint flavoring….OR if you are so inclined try an ounce of Peppermint Schnapps added between the milk layer and the coffee layer… Crumble peppermint candy on top.

I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!
