Espresso is beautifully complemented by creamy, smooth white chocolate to create an indulgent beverage perfect for a cold winter’s day.
I’m trying to save money (more than usual). And in saving money, that means I have to say bye-bye to my morning Starbucks runs. However, to be fair to myself, the money on my gold card was almost entirely from gift cards given to me for holidays and birthdays. But alas, that money has run out. Sniff sniff.
Instead of being sad about that, I’ve decided to look at the upsides:
- I’ll be saving money on the morning coffee
- I’ll be saving myself 15-20 minutes each morning when I would usually stop at Starbucks
- It will give me the opportunity to try my hand at another coffee recipe!
My standard order is a Venti Skinny Vanilla Latte, but on occasion I get a killer white chocolate craving and I splurge on the extra calories found in their White Chocolate Mocha. It’s so creamy, and white chocolate-y, and just plain delicious. It’s a treat, and definitely not something I would get every day.
The recipe I came up with ends up having less calories – not by a lot, but I’ll take it! Obviously it can vary based on the amount of whipped cream you use, and if you use more white chocolate sauce as a topping. Either way, it’s still going to be less than the Starbucks version – in calories, and cash!
You just need 8 ounces of milk, a couple shots of espresso, a couple tablespoons of Torani’s White Chocolate Sauce and a little whipped cream. You’ll also need a way to froth the milk and white chocolate sauce together – I have a little milk frother that heats it up and foams it for me, but you can use whatever works for you.
I adore the Torani White Chocolate Sauce – it’s thick and so flavorful. Because it’s so concentrated, you don’t need to use a lot which is always a good thing because the bottle will last you quite a while. I will warn you though – it’s extremely tempting to just squeeze the bottle directly into your mouth. Try really, really hard not to do it.
It took me all of 5 minutes to throw this together, and I feel pretty good about the time and money I’m saving making my own. Give it a shot (pun intended) and then check out Torani’s other flavors to mix it up and make it your own!

Espresso is beautifully complemented by creamy, smooth white chocolate to create an indulgent beverage perfect for a cold winter’s day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 2 tablespoons Torani White Chocolate Sauce (plus more for topping, optional)
- 2 ounces espresso
- Whipped cream, optional
Instructions
- Combine milk and white chocolate sauce in a milk frother and heat according the frother’s instructions.

I’ve been trying to make these at home and have been using dark chocolate torani, because I can’t find the white chocolate at the grocery store I go to. I’ve resorted to melting white chocolate every morning. where do you get this white chocolate sauce?!
Oh my goodness – that’s dedication! I found it last year at my local grocery store as part of a Torani holiday set (white chocolate, caramel and peppermint). I’m not sure where you live, but if you have a World Market nearby I usually see it there. Good luck!
Just thought I would point this out. Walmart Marketplace is now selling the Torani white chocolate sauce. You can find it in their coffee aisle. Was surprised to see it there and is planning to get one to make my own white chocolate mocha frappuccino!
That’s so good to know – thank you for sharing, Claudia! <3
Awesomeness in a cup! I can now make this anytime I want! I have been so disappointed that this is the one flavor that nobody sold. Now I don’t have to spend $5 a pop to get my white chocolate mocha latte! Thanks four the recipe guide. I modified to fit my taste and it’s perfect.
I use the sugar free white chocolate syrup (2tbs) 1 cup half and half and 1/2 cup very strong coffee to make it low carb and its AMAZING ?
That SOUNDS amazing!
Thank you SO much for this recipe! White chocolate mocha is my favorite. Since I live in the sticks, the nearest Starbucks is 30 miles away. Ugh. I have played with this recipe a bit & actually prefer this version to the actual Starbucks recipe.
*No espresso machine or milk frother? No problem, neither do I (and I have zero room for anymore kitchen gadgets). Just warm (microwave) the milk in a large mug. It semi-froths up on its own, although it doesn’t keep the froth, I use really strong coffee in place of the espresso. Perfect. Thanks again!
