Ingredients
 
 

For the latte:

  • 1-2 tablespoons dulce de leche
  • 1/3 cup strong-brewed coffee or 2 shots espresso
  • 1 cup milk*

Optional Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons whipped cream for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon dulce de leche for garnish,
  • splash of milk to mix with the dulce de leche, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Add 1-2 tablespoons of dulce de leche and the espresso/hot coffee to a mug. Stir together until the dulce de leche is melted.
  • 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 dulce de leche mixture.

Optional garnish

  • Warm the dulce de leche in a microwave for a few seconds and then mix with a splash of milk.
  • Scoop or pipe the whipped cream on top of the latte and then drizzle with the warmed dulce de leche. [If you want a neat drizzle, you can place it in a plastic piping bag or, for a messier drizzle, use a spoon to drizzle over top of the whipped cream.]

Notes

*If you are using strongly brewed coffee instead of espresso, you may need to adjust the amount of milk you use depending on how strong your brewed coffee is.
