Homemade cookie butter latte is creamy and cozy with espresso, milk, and cookie butter spread combined for the ultimate sweet, spiced treat.
Ingredients
1cupWhole Milk, (hot)
3tbspCookie Butter
2tspSugar
2shotsEspresso, , hot (or a 1/2 cup coffee)
1/2tspVanilla Extract
DashCinnamon, (additional for topping)
Topping
3tbspHeavy Cream, (cold)
1tbspCookie Butter
2tspSugar
Instructions
Warm the milk In a small saucepan (or using a milk frother or microwave), heat the milk until it’s steaming but not boiling.
Add the cookie butter and sugar to your mug and pour the hot espresso or coffee over it and stir until smooth and melted. Then add the vanilla extract and dash of cinnamon and stir to combine.
Slowly pour the steamed milk into the mug, holding back the foam with a spoon if you prefer a smooth latte, or go all in with the foam on top for extra creaminess.
Then make the topping by using a milk frother or small whisk to beat heavy cream, cookie butter, and sugar together until whipped cream forms. Add on top of the latte. Add a dash of cinnamon on top and enjoy.
Notes
Warm the cookie butter slightly in the microwave (10 to 15 seconds) so it stirs smoothly into the hot espresso. This prevents clumps and makes sure you get that rich, spiced flavor in every sip.
Heat whole milk to around 150-155°F (65-68°C). Too hot, and it scalds; too cool, and it tastes flat. You want silky microfoam with tiny, velvety bubbles, not big frothy ones.
Coffee and milk-based drinks lose their foam quickly. Serve the latte right after making it for the best café texture.
Use a handheld milk frother, French press, or steam wand to froth the whole milk. Frothy milk creates a silky mouthfeel and gives the latte that coffee shop look.
