Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 shots of espresso or 1/3 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2–1 tablespoon Monin vanilla syrup or any other syrup, to taste
Chocolate Coating
- 1/3 cup melted chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
Other
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each interval until completely melted and smooth.
- Coat the cup: Pour the melted chocolate into a clear plastic cup, swirl it around to coat the inside evenly, and let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Freeze the coated cup for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to set and harden.
- Assemble the latte: Add ice cubes to the chocolate-coated cup. Then layer the drink by pouring in the Monin vanilla syrup, followed by the milk, and finally the freshly brewed espresso or cooled strong coffee.
- Crack the chocolate shell: Capture a video of you cracking the hardened chocolate mold inside the cup for a fun and trendy presentation before stirring the latte well.
- Enjoy your latte: Drink the latte with a straw and use a spoon to scoop out and savor the broken chocolate pieces, enhancing the overall flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- You can use any type of chocolate—dark, milk, or white—according to your taste preference.
- Adjust the amount of vanilla syrup based on your desired sweetness.
- Using a clear plastic cup highlights the dramatic visual effect of the cracking chocolate shell.
- For a non-dairy version, choose plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Ensure the coffee is cooled before assembling to prevent melting the chocolate shell prematurely.
