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
- 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.
- 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.
- Add Espresso: Slowly pour the freshly brewed espresso over the sweetened milk mixture to create a layered, visually appealing drink.
- 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.
