Description
A chilled café-style iced latte featuring freshly brewed espresso, creamy milk, and a homemade maple-flavored whipped cream topped with flaky sea salt for balanced sweetness and texture.
Ingredients
Heavy cream – 1/4 cup
Maple syrup – 1 tbsp
Flakey sea salt – pinch
Ice – as needed
Espresso (double strength) – 2 shots
Milk – 1/2 cup (dairy or oat milk)
Instructions
Combine heavy cream and maple syrup in a bowl
Beat with an electric mixer for 30 seconds on medium
Stop when mixture holds soft peaks
Fill a glass 2/3 full with ice cubes
Pour 2 shots of fresh espresso over the ice
Add milk, leaving a 2-inch air gap
Gently spoon cream topping on the surface
Sprinkle flaky sea salt before serving
Notes
Chill espresso before mixing to prevent melting ice
Use cold milk from the refrigerator for better consistency
Test pepper salt on back of hand before adding
Whisk cream only until soft peaks form
Store whipped cream in an airtight container for up to 8 hours
Substitute heavy cream with 75% vanilla yogurt for less richness
Use agave nectar instead of maple syrup for a vegan option
