Strawberry Cream Latte Recipe
Ingredients:
- Bali Blue Moon Dark Roast Coffee
- White Chocolate Dream™ Powder
- Cream or Milk of choice
- Crushed White Chocolate
- White Chocolate Chips
- Fresh strawberries
- Strawberry Sauce (not pictured above)
Instructions:
- Brew your Bali Blue Moon Coffee from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. We used a Bodum Pour-over brewer to bring out this coffee’s wonderful fragrant toffee aroma with notes of walnut and semi-sweet chocolate.
- Start by creating strawberry infused froth. Using Bodum’s electric frother pour in some cream (any milk will do although heavier creams work best) and select the hot froth option. Once the cream thickens, pour the hot froth into a bowl. Fold in some chopped strawberry pieces to make your strawberry foam.
- Rim a larger coffee cup by placing the top of the cup onto a plate with strawberry sauce on it. Then do the same with crushed white chocolate pieces.
- Pour some freshly brewed Bali Blue Moon coffee into the rimmed coffee cup, leaving room for foam.
- Add ¼ cup (or more for a sweeter taste) of White Chocolate Dream.
- Combine coffee and powder using a handheld mixer (for best results) or a spoon will also work
- Next, spoon in the strawberry infused foam into the coffee cup.
- Garnish with extra strawberry pieces and white chocolate chips.
- Drizzle some strawberry syrup over the top. Cut a small sliver out of a fresh strawberry and attach it to the cup.
Wait till you smell the zesty flavor of strawberry while tasting the richness of Bali Blue Moon coffee and the sweet creaminess of white chocolate. Let the sparks fly!
