Equipment Needed
Medium mixing bowl
Microwave-safe bowl or cup
Measuring cups
Measuring spoons
Fine mesh strainer
Jar or container with a tight-fitting lid or you can use an immersion blender if you have one
Espresso Machine if you aren’t using espresso powder
Ingredients
2 shots of espresso OR 2 teaspoon instant espresso mixed with 2 oz hot water
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey
Cornflake Infused Milk
8 oz milk
1 – 1 1/2 cup cornflake cereal
Chocolate Cold Foam
2 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons of heavy cream
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
Directions
In a medium bowl , combine 8 oz of milk and cornflake cereal.
Press the cornflake cereal into the milk so they are wet. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes.
While the milk infuses, prepare the espresso. Pull 2 shots of espresso or mix the instant espresso with hot water.
Stir the peanut butter and honey into the espresso until combined.
Strain the infused milk through a fine-mesh strainer into your cup with your espresso mix and stir.
For your chocolate cold foam we will add our milk, heavy cream, and chocolate syrup together in a container with a lid.
Put the lid on and shake for about 2-4 minutes or until frothy.
Pour the chocolate cold foam over the latte.
Add additional cornflakes on top if desired.
Sip and enjoy!
Tips
Whole milk creates the richest cornflake infusion.
Warm espresso helps the peanut butter and honey blend more easily.
For an iced version, chill the infused milk before assembling and serve over ice.
Strain the milk thoroughly to prevent cereal pieces from ending up in the drink.
Adjust the honey to taste if you prefer a sweeter latte.
