Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 shots espresso (about 60ml / 2 oz)
  • 3 tbsp white chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp whole milk (for the sauce)
  • 200ml (about 6.5 oz) whole milk (for steaming)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream, for topping

Method
 

  1. Combine the 3 tbsp white chocolate chips, 2 tbsp heavy cream, 1 tbsp whole milk, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until completely smooth, then remove from heat.
  2. Brew 2 shots of espresso. Pour the white chocolate sauce into your mug first, then pour the espresso over it and stir for 15 seconds.
  3. Heat the 200ml whole milk in a saucepan over medium heat to 150°F (65°C), about 3 to 4 minutes, then froth with a handheld frother for 20 to 30 seconds.
  4. Hold back the foam and pour the steamed milk into the mug, then spoon the foam on top. Add whipped cream and drizzle any remaining white chocolate sauce over the cream to serve.

Notes

You can make the white chocolate sauce 3 to 5 days ahead and keep it in the fridge. The sauce sometimes thickens as it cools, so give it a quick stir after warming it up before you pour. If you are making this iced, skip the steaming step entirely and pour everything over a full glass of ice.
