Ingredients
Ingredients
2 shots of Espresso
Chocolate powder - to taste, but we used two tablespoons for a rich chocolate-y taste
Steamed milk
Whipped cream
Chocolate flakes or syrup of your choice to dress.
Glass: Latte glass Ice: None Garnish: Whipped cream. Chocolate sprinkles or a sweet syrup, or both!
Method
Method
Add chocolate powder to your glass.
Start with your milk. Heat your milk with the traditional steam wand, ensuring you have set the LatteCrema system to the Latte setting, or if using a fully automatic coffee machine, simply press the button for a latte. If your milk frothing wand has no settings, sink the wand further into the milk to heat it. You want lots of heated milk, and a little foam. Tap your jug on the surface to get rid of any larger air bubbles.
Next comes the perfect espresso, which takes around 20 to 30 seconds to extract, and uses around 7 to 8 grams of coffee beans for a single espresso. Drop this into your milk directly. Stir to combine the ingredients.
Top with a flourish of squirty cream, and syrup or chocolate flakes.
Enjoy!
