Ingredients

White chocolate chips should be melted gently to avoid burning and preserve their creamy texture, which is crucial for achieving the smooth flavor of the White MochaLatta Chill. Using freshly brewed espresso shots enhances the rich coffee taste and balances the sweetness from the white chocolate and cinnamon sugar drizzle. Whole milk creates the creamiest texture, but you can substitute with any milk variant according to your dietary preference. Your choice of ice quantity can affect the chill factor and dilution, so adjust to maintain a refreshing yet intense flavor. The White MochaLatta Chill from Cinnabon copycat menu perfectly combines these ingredients to deliver the signature blend of smooth white chocolate, rich espresso, and cinnamon sugar sweetness.
Instructions
- Brew 2 shots of espresso using the espresso machine.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, heat milk until hot but not boiling.
- Add white chocolate chips to the hot milk and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Pour espresso, white chocolate-milk mixture, simple syrup (if using), and ice into blender.
- Blend until mixture is smooth and frothy.
- Pour blended mixture into the serving glass.
- Top generously with whipped cream.
- Drizzle cinnamon sugar sauce on top of whipped cream using the drizzle bottle.
- Sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar if desired.
- Serve immediately with a spoon and straw.
Substitution
The White MochaLatta Chill from Cinnabon copycat menu combines white chocolate, espresso, and creamy milk blended with ice, topped with whipped cream and cinnamon sugar drizzle for a rich yet refreshing treat. If white chocolate chips are unavailable, you can substitute with white chocolate syrup or a high-quality white chocolate bar melted down for similar flavor and texture. Your espresso shots can be replaced with strong brewed coffee in a pinch, though the authentic taste of espresso is preferable for the best result. For a dairy-free version, almond or oat milk works well without compromising creaminess. When swirling the cinnamon sugar drizzle, use a squeeze bottle to maintain the signature Cinnabon presentation.
Tips
When brewing espresso, ensure your machine is properly preheated to avoid weak or bitter shots that affect the drink's flavor. Heat the milk gently to prevent scalding, which can alter the texture and taste of your White MochaLatta Chill. Use fresh ice and avoid over-blending to maintain a perfect frothy consistency without watering down your beverage. You can customize sweetness levels by adjusting the simple syrup, but be cautious to keep the balance between rich white chocolate and espresso intact for the ideal indulgence.
Nutritions
The White MochaLatta Chill from Cinnabon contains approximately 2 shots of espresso, providing around 150 mg of caffeine per serving for an energizing boost. The blend of 1 cup of milk and 1/3 cup white chocolate chips contributes a moderate amount of calcium, protein, and sugar, impacting both energy levels and sweetness. With whipped cream and cinnamon sugar topping, the drink adds extra calories and sugars, influencing overall calorie intake depending on portion size. Your choice to include the optional tablespoon of simple syrup will increase sweetness and sugar content significantly.
Storage
Store any leftover White MochaLatta Chill in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours to maintain freshness. Keep the whipped cream and cinnamon sugar drizzle separate until ready to serve to preserve their texture and flavor. When you're ready to enjoy your drink again, give it a quick stir or blend to restore its creamy consistency.
Variation or Alternatives
For a dairy-free version, substitute almond, oat, or soy milk instead of regular milk to achieve a creamy texture while catering to lactose intolerance or vegan preferences. You can replace the white chocolate chips with white chocolate syrup for easier blending and a smoother consistency. To intensify the cinnamon flavor, infuse the milk with a cinnamon stick while heating, then remove before mixing with espresso for a subtle spice note. If you don't have a blender, vigorously froth the espresso and milk mixture, then combine with ice and gently fold to create a chilled, frothy latte.
Allergies
The White MochaLatta Chill contains milk, a common allergen that may cause reactions in individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies. White chocolate chips also include milk solids and soy lecithin, which can be problematic for those with soy allergies. You should always check the ingredient labels for allergens such as cinnamon sugar and whipped cream, as some commercial versions may contain additives or traces of nuts.
