White Chocolate Raspberry Mochas

Are we ready for a high maintenance coffee situation this Tuesday morning?

Because that’s exactly what I have for you today. High maintenance but oh so worth it.

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m sort of a helpless devotee to coffee. It is my morning ritual on which I refuse to compromise. Meaning, I drank coffee all through both my pregnancies (in moderation, of course) and while nursing both of my kids. My day does not begin until I’ve had coffee. I wake up a half hour earlier (or more!) than the rest of the house most days of the week so that I can sip on my precious coffee alone while it’s still hot and fresh. It is the epitome of “me time,” and I don’t let much get in the way of this.

On the weekends, Dan and I often have our morning coffee together. These are the times that I might take a few extra moments in the morning to make special coffee drinks for us both. Today’s version is something I came up with based on a coffee creamer my sister in law is in love with.

Now, white chocolate is not my thing. So, when I saw the bottle of white chocolate raspberry coffee creamer in the fridge this past summer while on a family vacation, I grimaced. But it was all we had for coffee, and I needed a little extra something-something that morning. So I went for it.

And ya know what?

It was DELICIOUS.

And that is exactly how we got to today’s recipe. It’s that simple.

I wanted to create a homemade version that I knew would not only be better for us (no artificial stuff), but also taste better. So! I made a fresh raspberry syrup and a white chocolate sauce and drizzled both into cups of hot espresso and steamed milk and called it a day.

A glorious day.

These mochas are definitely high maintenance. Meaning, I would not make these from scratch on a Tuesday morning. I would, however, make them on a weekend and then drink the leftovers throughout the week. Heck, you could even work this into your weekend meal prep plan. Meal prep coffee? Let’s make it a thing.

The thing is, even though they take a little bit more work than a standard cup of coffee does, none of the steps of the recipe is particularly difficult or elaborate. I highly recommend you read through the recipe below and make your own judgment, but for me, this is easy peasy stuff.

Ten minutes of prep and you’ll have a decadent and FUN coffee treat.

And that is my favorite thing in the world. These will definitely be making an appearance during my weekly “me time.”
