A mixture of 1% low-fat milk, creamy half-and-half, bold espresso powder, and a bit of sugar are brought to a gentle boil before being poured over sweet white chocolate chips. Although I can’t say with any degree of certainty that this ice cream tastes just like Starbucks’ popular White Chocolate Mocha beverage, (I’ve never had one), I bet the flavors are pretty similar. The rich and sweet white chocolate flavor is complemented by the kick of espresso in this delicious lightened ice cream.
I enjoyed my first serving of the ice cream with an extra sprinkling of white chocolate chips and a few chocolate-covered espresso beans, which I highly recommend you seek out if you enjoy the classic chocolate & coffee flavor combination. Later on in the week, I couldn’t help but add a scoop of the ice cream on top of a warmed Mocha Brownie… and I can’t even describe how utterly amazing that duo was!
Seeing as this will be my last post before trekking down to CT for Christmas with my in-laws, I will take a moment to wish all of you a Happy Holiday! I will be back before the new year with a couple of healthy savory recipes, which I’m sure many of us will be ready for after all of the cookies and baked goods of the holiday season ;).
