Ingredients in a Nutella Latte
- Nutella: No surprise here, Nutella is what gives this latte its flavor. While other flavored lattes typically include a syrup, Nutella adds the nutty, chocolatey flavor as well as the sweetness so no additional sweetener is required. If you prefer, you can also substitute for a different chocolate hazelnut spread.
- Coffee: Espresso is the base of any latte, however, if you do not have an espresso machine at home, you can substitute strongly brewed coffee instead. If you are using strongly brewed coffee instead, you may need to adjust the amount of milk you add depending on the strength of your brew.
- Milk: Whole milk or 2% milk will give you a richer latte, however, you can easily substitute for skim or a plant-based milk. Keep in mind, lower fat milk or plant based milk may not froth up like whole milk does.
- Optional: Cocoa powder to garnish.

How to make Nutella Latte
- Melt the Nutella. Add 1-2 tablespoons of Nutella and the espresso/hot coffee to a mug. Stir together until Nutella is melted.
- Froth the milk. In a milk frother (or in a mug using a handheld milk frother), froth and heat the milk (if your frother does not warm the milk, warm the milk first on the stove top). Pour the frothed milk over the coffee and Nutella mixture.
- Optional garnish: Top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Enjoy!
Latte without any special equipment
If you do not have an espresso machine or milk frother at home, you can still enjoy this latte recipe.
As mentioned in the recipe, if you do not have an espresso machine, you can opt for strongly brewed coffee instead. Alternatively, instant espresso powder can also be used.
To froth your milk without a milk frother, place the milk in a saucepan and whisk it as it warms up. Continuous whisking can help create some frothing. As mentioned earlier, if you are using a low fat milk or a plant based milk, you may not get any frothiness. Simply warming up the milk can still make a tasty latte, though.
