White Chocolate Mocha Syrup

Ingredient Notes

Just a few simple ingredients are all you need to make this delicious sweet treat. 

Sweetened Condensed Milk – we use store bought but you can use homemade, Simply Recipes has a recipe if you want to make your own. 

Whole Milk – you can use skim milk, 2%, heavy cream, half & half, coconut milk, oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk. It may change the thickness a little bit but not enough to make that much of a difference. If using non-dairy milk make sure to buy the unsweetened type or cut the sugar down some. 

Sugar – regular granulated sugar.

White Chocolate – we like to use good quality white chocolate chips. You can use white chocolate bars cut into smaller pieces. 

Vanilla – pure vanilla extract and not imitation vanilla. 

Instant Coffee – we have a large jar because we use it in a lot of recipes. It comes in small packets in a box and that is more economical than the big jar if you don’t want to spend that much to make this white mocha syrup recipe. 

Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Add all of the ingredients to a medium saucepan.
2. Simmer over medium-high heat stirring constantly until the chocolate chips melt.

You want the chocolate to melt as the mixture heats up to a simmer, adjust the heat down if it looks like it is going to start boiling. 

Starbucks Drinks Using Our Homemade White Chocolate Syrup

I don’t claim that this white chocolate syrup recipe is a copycat Starbucks recipe but it can be used to make homemade versions of some of the popular drinks you get at the coffee shop. It is the perfect way to save money without having to leave the comfort of your own home! 

White Chocolate Crème Frappuccino – the grande calls for milk, 3 pumps of white chocolate mocha sauce and whipped cream. 

White Chocolate Mocha – the grande calls for espresso, 2% milk, milk foam, steamed milk, 4 pumps of white mocha sauce, and whipped cream. 

Iced White Chocolate Mocha – the grande calls for 2 shots of espresso, 2% milk, milk foam, steamed milk, 4 pumps of white mocha sauce, and whipped cream and is served over ice, of course.  

There are also other seasonal and secret menu Starbucks coffee drinks that use syrup. 

How much is one pump of syrup at Starbucks?

It was tough to find this answer when I googled it. I saw anything from ¼ ounce to ⅓ ounce to 1 tablespoon per pump. I think that ¼ ounce sounds close to right. One tablespoon sounds like way too much. I don’t think Starbucks is putting 4 tablespoons of flavored syrup into one 16 ounce white chocolate mocha drink. 

We use 1-2 tablespoons of white chocolate syrup in one cup of coffee, depending on how big the cup is. 

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month. We like to use a mason jar.

Special note: The syrup will thicken in the refrigerator. If you are adding it to hot coffee it will melt just fine. If you want to use it in iced coffee or as a sauce on ice cream, pancakes or other dessert just put a bit in the microwave for a few seconds and it will thin out as it warms up.
