Notes
*I've noted 1.5 - 2 tablespoons of chocolate sauce in this recipe as I personally like 2 tablespoons when using white chocolate, and 1.5 when using dark chocolate. Experiment to find your perfect ratio!
Recipe Variations and Substitutions
- Use strongly brewed coffee instead of espresso. Brew strong coffee instead by increasing the amount of coffee grounds used in your normal brewing method to make a more concentrated coffee. A good place to start is by adding one or two extra scoops of grounds. Use your normal brewing method (drip, French press, etc.).
- Make an iced raspberry mocha. If you love iced coffee, you can totally turn this into a cold drink too! For best results, pour your fresh brewed coffee or espresso over your chocolate syrup and stir to combine. Then chill the mixture in the fridge until you're ready to use it. Fill a tall glass about half full with ice. Then pour the cooled coffee and chocolate mixture, raspberry syrup, and milk over the ice, top with whipped cream, and enjoy!
- Make a decaf mocha. If desired, use your favorite decaf espresso or decaf coffee in this recipe.
- Top with chocolate or white chocolate curls.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries. Adding a beautiful raspberry to the rim of your mug is a cute way to help show what flavor this is.
