Tres Leches Latte
Immerse yourself in the luxurious blend of a Tres Leches Latte, a drinkable form of the classic Latin American dessert. This warm, creamy latte combines the richness of three milks - evaporated, condensed, and whole - with the robustness of espresso, all enveloped in a cloud of whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon. It's a sweet, indulgent treat that's perfect for a cozy afternoon.
Ingredients
- Espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 1 shot or 1/2 cup
- Whole milk
- 1 cup
- Evaporated milk
- 1/4 cup
- Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon, plus extra for garnish
- Whipped cream
- enough for topping
Instructions
- Brew a shot of espresso or make a strong cup of coffee and set aside.
- In a saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir until well combined.
- Transfer the hot milk mixture into a blender. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds until frothy.
- Pour the brewed espresso or coffee into a large mug.
- Slowly pour the frothy milk mixture over the coffee, using a spoon to hold back the foam to create a layered effect.
- Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish.
- Serve your Tres Leches Latte immediately while it's still warm, and enjoy this decadent delight!
Tips
- For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle some caramel sauce over the whipped cream. If you're a fan of nutmeg, it can be a nice substitute for the ground cinnamon.
