Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee
- 1/3 cup (60 g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh or frozen raspberry puree (thawed and strained if frozen)
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or dairy alternative (almond, oat, coconut, or cashew milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener (optional, adjust to taste)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of strong espresso or coffee. If using a French press, use about 2 tablespoons (10 g) of coffee grounds for a robust flavor. Set aside.
- Prepare the raspberry puree by blending 1/4 cup (about 40 g) fresh raspberries until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. If using frozen raspberries, thaw completely and strain.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/3 cup (60 g) white chocolate chips and 1 cup (240 ml) milk. Stir constantly with a whisk or spoon until smooth and creamy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1-2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener if desired. Mix well.
- Pour the brewed coffee into a heatproof mug. Stir in the raspberry puree gently.
- Slowly pour the warm white chocolate milk into the coffee and raspberry mixture. Stir gently to combine.
- Top with whipped cream and fresh raspberries if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm.
