This homemade White Chocolate Espresso Peanut Butter recipe makes the perfect spread for 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 you’re 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 wild flavors you want, use whatever nuts you want, or mix 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 dreamed up tons of other flavors as well, but 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 addictive, and far too easy to keep eating spoonfuls!

You may think this sounds weird. White chocolate, peanut butter, and espresso aren’t things you think would go together. You likely 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. 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.
Notes
What an amazing recipe, I can’t wait to make this!!
Can I just eat it directly off of a spoon?!
I definitely did, haha!
I 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!
Oh my goodness does this look amazing! I especially love the espresso flair.
Healthy white chocolate espresso peanut butter, that sounds promising and something that now I have to try. Thanks a lot for sharing the recipe with us.
Just love love love this!!!
Sounds tasty.
I’m all over anything to do with peanut butter. Love the combination of flavours here. Will definitely be eating spoonfuls of this soon :)
Ah, 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 ;)
What wonderful flavors all mixed into one! Yummy!
