Step by step instructions with pictures for Iced Blueberry Mocha recipe
Prepare your glass with chocolate drizzle
Take your serving glass and generously drizzle the bottom and inner sides with two tablespoons of chocolate sauce to create those delicious, chocolatey layers.
Add ice and flavorings
Fill the glass to the top with ice cubes. Pour in the blueberry simple syrup and double shot of fresh espresso right over the ice. I use a nespresso machine for the espresso (affiliate link), but you can use strong coffee or instant espresso, too!
Add milk and stir
Pour in six ounces of cold milk and gently stir everything together to mix the espresso, milk, and syrup into a creamy, dreamy blend.
Garnish and serve
Top your glass high with whipped cream, then finish with a final drizzle of chocolate sauce and a small spoon of blueberry syrup right over the top for an extra delicious presentation.
FAQ for Iced Blueberry Mocha recipe?
Can I use store-bought blueberry syrup instead of homemade?
Yes, store-bought blueberry syrup works nicely if you are short on time, though homemade syrup gives the freshest flavor! That’s my affiliate link.
What type of milk works best in this recipe?
Whole milk gives the richest texture, but oat milk, almond milk, or any non-dairy alternative you prefer will taste fantastic.
Can I make this drink without an espresso machine?
Absolutely! You can substitute two ounces of strong brewed coffee or cold brew concentrate, or mix up instant coffee powder for quick preparation.
