- In a large mug, pour the hot milk and gently add the freshly brewed espresso shot, stirring to combine.
- Top your latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream, ensuring it cascades gracefully over the sides.
- Sprinkle the crushed Schneeballen cookies on top for a delightful crunch and added flavor.

Tips
- For an extra indulgent treat, try drizzling some caramel or chocolate sauce on top of the whipped cream before adding the crushed cookies.
- If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, you can use a double shot of espresso.
- Feel free to substitute almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
