Notes

Homemade Mocha Sauce:

For a Homemade Mocha Sauce, follow my Peppermint Mocha Sauce recipe, and omit the peppermint extract!

Dairy-Free Version:

Swap:
  • 2% milk for barista style oat milk or extra creamy almond milk
  • Heavy cream for a dairy-free heavy cream alternative
  • Pistachio sauce for pistachio syrup
The cold foam may be slightly lighter, but the flavor will still be delicious.

Sugar-Free Option

  • Use a sugar-free mocha sauce or make your own using a sugar substitute
  • Use a sugar-free pistachio sauce or syrup
  • Skip or lightly sprinkle the brown butter topping
