Dulce de Leche Latte
Description
The Dulce de Leche Latte starts by whipping heavy cream to soft peaks to garnish later. Milk and dulce de leche are gently warmed together to dissolve the caramel-like dulce de leche into the milk, producing a sweetened milk base. Espresso shots or strong coffee are brewed separately to ensure a bold coffee flavor.
After the milk mixture begins to simmer, it is frothed to create a light foam layer. The latte is assembled by swirling additional dulce de leche inside the mug optionally, adding whipped cream, pouring in espresso, and topping with the frothed milk. Finally, a dulce de leche drizzle—made by thinning dulce de leche with a splash of milk—is poured over the whipped cream for extra sweetness and decoration.
This latte offers a harmonious balance of the bittersweet espresso combined with the smooth, creamy dairy and the rich sweetness of dulce de leche, perfect for coffee lovers looking for a sweetened specialty drink.
