This recipe for homemade White Chocolate Espresso Peanut Butter makes the perfect spread for your toast, or to eat off a spoon when a sugar craving hits!
Ever since I made my White Chocolate Pretzel Peanut Butter, I’ve been dreaming up tons of extravagant indulgent peanut butters and almond butters that I want to make. I’ve already said before on the blog how much I love making my own nut butters – but if your new here and you’ve never done it, just know – it’s so rewarding, and so much easier than you would think!
You can add whatever crazy flavors you want, use whatever nuts you want, do mixes of nuts – anything goes!
Clearly, I like making chocolatey peanut butters, as evidenced by the aforementioned White Chocolate Pretzel Peanut Butter and the classic Chocolate Peanut Butter. I’ve dreamt up tons of other flavors as well…they just haven’t been made yet.
But, considering my love for peanut butter, they will be. I try to eat healthy-ish, so these nut butters are somewhat of an indulgence for me to eat for breakfast, but a quick spoonful also makes a wonderful lazy dessert. So good! Be careful though – it’s wildly addicting, and far too easy to just keep eating spoonfuls!
You may think this sounds weird. White chocolate, peanut butter, and espresso aren’t things you think would go together, and you definitely wouldn’t think of eating whole espresso beans. But guess what? It totally works. The sweetness of the white chocolate masks the bitterness of the espresso beans, so you get pure coffee flavors along with the crunch the beans provide. It’s wonderful!
Oh, and this spread was just begging to be spread on a waffle for breakfast. If I can get my caffeine hit in a peanut butter, I’m going to do it: killing two birds with one delicious stone!
Enjoy!
White Chocolate Espresso Peanut Butter
Ingredients
- 2 cups roasted unsalted peanuts
- 4 oz. high quality white chocolate melted
- 1/4 cup espresso beans
Instructions
- Place the peanuts in the food processor for about 5-7 minutes or until the mixture is completely smooth (it will go through stages, such as powdery, paste-y, and then turn into a big ball. Don't worry, as the oils are released it will continue to break down until it gets creamy and delicious! Just let the processor do it's thing). Scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl every 2-3 minutes or as necessary.
- Once the mixture is at the right consistency, add in the melted chocolate. Process until combined. Add the espresso beans and pulse a few times to break up the beans just slightly. Place in sterilized jars and refrigerate for up to 2 months, or keep at room temperature for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.

March 4, 2013 at 2:25 pmI don’t think this sounds strange at all – just amazing! I have some (store-bought) espresso almond butter in the pantry that just sounded so insanely good to me, but I’ve been forgetting to try it. Now I just want to drag out my food processor and make a bunch of nut butters on my own!

March 4, 2013 at 2:45 pmI’ve been wanting to make my own peanut butter for so long and haven’t gotten around to doing it yet. This combination sounds so good! I’ll definitely refer back to this post when I finally make my own.

March 4, 2013 at 3:08 pmThis sounds soo good! I’ve been wanting to make different spreads and butters for awhile, but I haven’t tried it yet. It seems easy enough, though. Might have to give this one a try! :)

March 4, 2013 at 3:52 pmOh wow….this sounds amazing! I love different flavoured peanut butter. I’m a sucker for a dark chocolate peanut butter, but I cannot wait to try this out. Awesome flavour combination.

March 4, 2013 at 4:43 pmThis looks and sounds crazy good! I have a few PB recipes in my drafts and one I’m posting later this week. I love white choc and make sure to use it as much as I can in my homemade spreads, too! :)

Nicole @ youngbrokeandhungry says
March 4, 2013 at 11:53 pmAlthough I love plain peanut butter, Its fun to try different flavors. This one looks ridiculously good! I can imagine it would taste great mixed into a cookie recipe.

March 5, 2013 at 3:42 amMy favorite peanut better is white chocolate wonderful by peanut butter and co. I never thought of making it myself. Thanks this looks delicious.
Heather @ SugarDish Me says
March 5, 2013 at 4:54 amThis is basically genius.
I am of the opinion that coffee works well with basically everything (so not strange AT ALL) and while I was reading your post all I could think of was how much fun it would be to bake with all your creative nut butters!
Thank you!

March 13, 2013 at 1:06 pmI have made my own nut butters and I buy a jarred chocolate peanut butter (as a substitute for nutella which I am allergic to). Why I never thought to flavor my home made nut butter, I don’t know. This is a great idea! Thank you for the recipe!

October 14, 2013 at 11:58 amAh, I’m so glad I have access to my food processor again–let the nut butter times begin! I’m also so glad I stumbled across your post via a scoop.com blog (I hadn’t heard of them but they reposted one of my own recipes, so talk about good fate!). I can’t wait to try another great nut butter twist–hope you’re having some amazing PB&anything sammies with this ;)
