Ingredients

Scale

Cold Foam Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp whipped cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp vanilla syrup
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp whole milk

Latte Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp carrot cake syrup
  • ¾ cup milk of choice (2% milk recommended)
  • 2 oz espresso
  • Ice, as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cold Foam: Add the whipped cream cheese, vanilla syrup, heavy cream, and whole milk into a small glass or jar. Use a milk frother to froth the ingredients until smooth, creamy, and light. Set aside to use as a luxurious topping for your latte.
  2. Assemble the Latte: Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in the carrot cake syrup. Add the milk of choice over the syrup and stir well to combine the flavors.
  3. Add Espresso: Slowly pour the freshly brewed espresso over the sweetened milk mixture to create a layered, visually appealing drink.
  4. Top with Cream Cheese Cold Foam: Spoon the prepared cream cheese cold foam generously on top of the latte. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of carrot cake-inspired flavors and creamy espresso.

Notes

  • Use 2% milk for a balanced creaminess, but you can substitute with almond, oat, or other plant-based milks for dairy-free options.
  • Adjust the amount of carrot cake syrup based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the espresso amount slightly or use a double shot.
  • Cold foam can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a day but should be re-frothed before serving for best texture.
  • If you don’t have a milk frother, whisk the cold foam ingredients vigorously or blend briefly in a blender.
