Salted Caramel Mocha Recipe

on Oct 10, 2014, Updated Oct 07, 2021 3 Comments I’m such a fan of coffee. Every morning without fail, I grab a cup as part of my morning routine. Most of the time, I add a bit of my homemade coffee creamer. Sometimes I crave a coffee drink that’s a little more “extra” than my morning cup. This Salted Caramel Mocha is a special favorite that I enjoy as a treat. My Pumpkin Spice Latte is another one I enjoy on special occasions.

Salted Caramel Mocha Recipe

It never fails. Whenever I’m in a city that has a coffee house, drive-thru or otherwise, I have to visit. On a trip to visit a friend who lived in the mountains a few years ago, we found ourselves stopping by a local coffee shop each afternoon where I would get a salted caramel mocha as a little pick me up. That’s when I decided I would start making these delicious drinks at home. Thankfully, they couldn’t be much easier to make! I made my salted caramel mocha recipe for one large cup or a single serving recipe. You can easily multiply the recipe for the number of servings that you need for guests or because you know that you can’t have just one! We love mocha at my house, so it is one of those coffee drinks that I love to keep all of the ingredients ready for use at a moment’s notice. My recipe also calls for homemade salted caramel. And since I like to keep caramel sauce on hand in my refrigerator throughout the fall, it makes it really easy for me to use it quickly in this recipe. However, you can easily use the already made caramel sauce that you can buy at the grocery store, if you like. Either would work just fine. Likewise, it calls for homemade whipped cream, but use whatever whipped cream or topping you prefer.
