How to Make Nespresso White Chocolate Strawberry
Nespresso Strawberry White Chocolate is a café-style coffee made with Nespresso pods, white chocolate, and strawberries. It’s creamy and tastes like a mix between a white chocolate mocha and a strawberry latte.
Ingredients:
- 1 Nespresso pod (white chocolate strawberry flavor): I recommend Vanilio or Caramelizio as these flavors enhance the sweetness and balance it.
- White chocolate (50g): Use high-quality chocolate like Lindt or Ghirardelli, as they melt smoothly and give a rich and creamy taste.
- Milk (100ml): Use dairy milk for a creamy texture, but you can also go with the plant-based variant.
- Strawberries (2-3 fresh or one tablespoon strawberry syrup): Always choose fresh strawberries for vibrant, natural sweetness.
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- Ice cubes (if making an iced version): It will keep your drink cool without diluting its flavor too quickly.
Instructions:
- Brew the Perfect Nespresso Shot: Brew a single shot of espresso (about 40ml) using your favorite Nespresso white chocolate strawberry pod or any Vertuo-compatible pod to complements sweet and fruity notes.
- Prepare the White Chocolate Base: Take a saucepan and melt around 50g of high-quality white chocolate over low heat. But make sure It doesn’t burn. To prevent it from burning, you can keep stirring it. Once melted, pour it in 100mg of milk. Then, whisk it continuously until this mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add the Strawberry Twist: Blend 2 or 3 strawberries into a smooth puree. Or 1 tablespoon of strawberry syrup.
- Combine and Serve: Take a serving glass and layer it with brewed Nespresso coffee, the white chocolate mixture, and strawberry puree. Stir to combine all these things. Top with whipped cream or garnish it with a fresh strawberry slice.
Ingredient Substitutes:
- Chocolate: You can use dark or milk chocolate to give your drink a richer taste
- Strawberries: Use frozen strawberries or strawberry jam. If using frozen strawberries, blend them for a smooth texture.
- Milk: Use coconut or soya milk. Coconut milk will add sweetness and extra creaminess, while soya milk will keep everything light and neutral.
Tips for Perfect Nespresso Strawberry White Chocolate
- Choose Quality White Chocolate: Go for at least 30% cocoa butter for that rich, creamy flavor. If you grab the cheap ones, they usually pack more sugar and less cocoa solids.
- Warm the Milk First: Before mixing, always warm up the milk. It lets the white chocolate melt properly and keeps it from clumping. You can even use a blender if you want that extra smooth texture.
- Use Fresh Strawberries for Flavor: Don’t go for syrup—it tastes fake and overly sweet. Blend fresh strawberries instead. It keeps your drink naturally sweet, fruity, and free from artificial aftertaste.
- Experiment with Pod Flavors: Try out different Nespresso pods till you find your favorite. I personally love Vanilio and Caramelizio with this one—they balance out the sweetness beautifully.
- Finish with a Touch of Fancy: Add chocolate shavings on top of your whipped cream. It’s that tiny detail that makes the drink look café-level fancy.
Drink Customization Ideas
- Iced Version: For the summer version of the Nespresso White Chocolate Strawberry recipe, add ice cubes to a glass, brew the Nespresso shot, and let it cool slightly before pouring it over the ice. However, make sure to chill the mixture properly for the best taste.
- Vegan Option: You can make it 100% vegan; just use dairy-free white chocolate or plant-based milk like almond, oat, or coconut milk.
- Extra Indulgence: You can drizzle caramel or chocolate syrup on top before serving — or even add a spoon of this Torani white chocolate sauce for a richer twist.
