What is a Dutch Bros White Chocolate Mocha
A White Chocolate Mocha is one of the drinks that you can see on the regular menu of Dutch Bros with chocolate milk and white chocolate sauce being its key ingredients. This drink has a sweet, chocolatey flavor which is great as a refreshing drink by itself or paired with a delicious snack.
You can order this at Dutch Bros in either a small, medium, or large cup, and you can get it hot, iced, or blended. Being a sweet drink, it can be higher in calories than some of the drinks at Dutch Bros.
Since you will be recreating the drink at home, you can control the amount of ingredients you will be putting in the drink.
Ingredients Needed
The ingredients you need to make a white chocolate mocha at home are simple and you can buy these online or at your local grocery stores.
Coffee Beans or Coffee Grounds
The base of a Dutch Bros White Chocolate Mocha is brewed coffee. You can grind the coffee beans on your own or you can buy coffee grounds if you don’t have a coffee grinder at home.
As I said earlier, this drink can be hot, iced, or blended so you can either use cold brew or freshly brewed coffee for the drink.
White Chocolate Sauce
Dutch Bros uses white chocolate sauce in this drink so you’ll have to use one if you are planning on creating a copycat recipe. You can use a regular white chocolate sauce or you can use a sugar-free version if you are trying to limit your sugar intake.
Chocolate Milk
One of the key ingredients of Dutch Bros White Chocolate Mocha is chocolate milk. Dutch Bros uses their exclusive chocolate milk so you can choose your favorite chocolate milk to recreate this drink.
Whipped Cream
This is totally optional but if you want that additional treat, adding a whipped cream is definitely worth it.
Ice
Ice is only needed if you are making an iced or blended drink.
Equipment Needed
The only special equipment you need to recreate the white chocolate mocha at home is a coffee grinder. If you grind your own coffee beans, you probably have your own grinder at home.
An espresso machine is also needed but you can use any coffee maker you have available. If you don’t have any brewing devices, you can still brew coffee without a coffee maker.
Other things you need to make this drink are a saucepan, a tall glass or cup, a mixing tool, and ice. If you are making it hot, there will be no need for ice. Additionally, if you want a blended drink, you will need a blender.
