Back in my Starbucks days (yes, I was proudly once a barista), one of my favorite drinks was the vegan White Chocolate Mocha. This was waaaaaay back in the day when I couldn’t stand the taste of coffee on its own so I needed something to alter its flavor. These days, I actually drink my coffee black and love it. It’s the way my father drank his coffee when I was a kid and I am following in his footsteps.
After buying 4 packages of non-dairy white chocolate chips it has left me thinking about all of the possibilities that could be fulfilled with their usage. If you missed it, I already started the festivities with these Cranberry Bliss Bars. (Hmmmm, I’m seeing the Starbucks pattern here–unintentional, mind you). The reality of it is that it’s been years since I have had a White Chocolate Mocha like back in the barista days but this morning was a bit chilly and my hands were freezing. The white chocolate chips were begging to be melted! So I obeyed and warmed up my paws with a hot cup of vegan Raspberry White Chocolate Mocha.
The tart flavor of the raspberries pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the white chocolate. It’s the quintessential holiday beverage that even us non-dairy consumers can enjoy.
If you do not have or want to purchase your own non-dairy white chocolate chips for whatever valid reason of your own, you can also make my homemade raw version found here.
- 1 c. strongly brewed coffee
- 2 c. non-dairy milk
- 3 Tbsp. non-dairy white chocolate chips
- 1/4 c. water
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 1/2 c. frozen raspberries
- In a small saucepan, dissolve sugar and water over medium low heat. Stir often.
- Add the raspberries until melted and warmed.
- Place in a small high-speed blender and mix until smooth. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, throw in the non-dairy white chocolate chips and the milk. Over medium low heat, gently warm the chips.
- Whisk continuously until completely melted and warmed. Remove from heat.
- Place 2 Tbsp. of the raspberry sauce on the bottom.
- Add approx. 1/3 c. of the strongly brewed coffee. Whisk together.
- Add 2/3 c.-1 c. non-dairy white chocolate milk and whisk.
- Top with favorite non-dairy whipped cream. Drizzle with remainder of the raspberry sauce.

I love this soooo much! I am a vegan and coffee lover and it has been so difficult to find an amazing coffee drink that’s vegan. I can’t wait to try this!
I must admit that I am a bit of a coffee lover myself. You will LOVE this Michelle!
Evil goodness!!
Thank you for all that you do!
Pinned!

*cue evil laugh*

You have just ROCKED MY WORLD.
DAIRY FREE WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA.
I love white chocolate raspberry but a white mocha has been my go-to then my lactose intolerance got 100x worse and I’ve been missing it. You have made my winter just that much more tolerable! Thank youu
YAY for tolerable winters!! So glad to be of help
Let me know how you like this! xo
1st of all YUM. I don’t normally like sweet and coffee mixed together, but I may need to try this and rethink things.
2nd of all. I need to get me some vegan white chocolate chips!
I hear you on that–I used to be all for it: Mint Mochas, Vanilla Lattes, White Chocolate, etc. Now I drink my coffee black. But from time-to-time it’s always nice to have a bit of an indulgence in my caffeinated drink
Holy not-from-a-cow, this looks fantastic! But…where in the world does one acquire these elusive non-dairy white chocolate chips? I love white chocolate chips. I need an online store link pronto because they aren’t sold up here in the Great White North.
Hey Christina! hehe. The link is in the post but I will re-paste it here: http://www.amazon.com/King-David-Kosher-Lactose-Chocolate/dp/B006QXXWGY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1384025992&sr=8-3&keywords=non-dairy+white+chocolate+chips
Good luck! xo
Wow! This looks so dang good! I love that you include a recipe for the white chocolate chips. Because, I’m too cheap to buy them
HA! Or we could share a bag
You just have to wait for my next shipment. I already went through the first 4… That sounds bad of me, doesn’t it???
Wow, this looks amazing!! I’ve never heard of a raspberry white choc mocha, I don’t know if I just ignored it at Starbucks or what. But I loved the raspberry mocha (non white choc) they do in Germany and I bet it would be great with white chocolate! Do you think it would work with raspberry jam if I’m feeling a bit too lazy to make raspberry sauce?
If you use raspberry jam, just water it down with some water so it’s not too thick. Let me know if you try it and it turns out good, Caitlin! xo
I don’t like coffee. Like at all. But I drink it. Because it keeps me alive. And I drink it black because drowning it in cream and sugar adds 6 bazillion calories and leaves less room in the cup for the life-giving caffeine. BUT I think I could make an exception for this. Scratch that. I KNOW I can.
WHAT?!!! You don’t like coffee? I’m…well…flabbergasted!
It looks absolutely perfect! I’m not a coffee drinker, but I really really want to make this! I can just sub 1C of hot chocolate for the coffee
now that would be a bit much.
This drink will make a coffee lover out of you, Randi!
And yes, I think the hot cocoa would be a perfect combo…
