How can I store the Date Cream Latte?

You can store date caramel in the fridge in a sealed jar for up to 1 week. The whipped cream topping is best made fresh but will last in the fridge for a maximum of 1 day. The coffee itself is meant to be consumed immediately.

Can I replace the date caramel with regular caramel?

Yes, you can. It will be a bit sweeter and less 'natural' in taste.

Which milk froths best?

Whole milk froths the creamiest, but oat milk and barista variants also work well.

Can I make this without whipped cream?

Yes, leave out the whipped cream for a lighter version. You will then have a date latte.

Is this drink suitable for children?

Without coffee, yes: replace the espresso with warm milk with some cocoa and date caramel.

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Take a nice glass and scoop a tablespoon of date caramel into it. Use the back of a spoon to create a beautiful swirl along the inside of the glass.

Heat the milk and lightly froth it. Pour the milk into the glass.

Brew a shot of espresso or ristretto and carefully pour it into the milk.

Whip the cream until it’s soft (semi-stiff) and mix in a tablespoon of date caramel.

Spoon the whipped cream on top of the coffee.

Finish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips

Make your own date caramel by mixing dates with a little water and a pinch of salt.
For a lactose-free version you can use plant-based milk and coconut cream.
Extra festive? Garnish with some coarse sea salt or chopped dates.
Would you prefer less sweet? Use half a tablespoon of date caramel in the whipped cream.
Serve in a nice glass so that the layers and swirl are clearly visible.
