Ingredients
- 4–5 medium-sized fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons white chocolate syrup
- 1 shot or ¼ cup espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup milk (whole milk recommended, or oat milk for dairy-free)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Optional: fresh strawberry slice, white chocolate drizzle, or mint for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and hull 4-5 fresh strawberries. Slice into quarters and place in the bottom of a tall glass. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the berries until they release their juice and break into small pieces (about 30 seconds).
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of white chocolate syrup over the crushed strawberries. Do not stir yet.
- Brew ¼ cup of strong coffee or a double shot of espresso. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the glass, on top of the strawberry mixture.
- Slowly pour 1 cup of cold milk over the ice, pouring gently to preserve the layers.
- Slowly pour the cooled espresso or strong coffee over the milk, again pouring gently to preserve the layers.
- Stir gently with a long spoon to combine all flavors. Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice on the rim if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, let the coffee cool for 2-3 minutes before pouring to prevent ice from melting too quickly. The strawberry-white chocolate mixture can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the fridge. For a dairy-free version, use oat milk (barista blend recommended). To reduce sugar, use sugar-free white chocolate syrup and unsweetened almond milk.
