Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 1 shot Espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla custard powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 1 teaspoon Toasted shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the vanilla custard powder, granulated sugar (if using), and water to form a smooth paste. Set aside.
Heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it is hot but not boiling. Stir frequently to prevent scorching.
Once the coconut milk is hot, add the custard mixture to the saucepan. Whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and is well combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Prepare your espresso or strong brewed coffee and pour it into a large mug.
Slowly pour the coconut custard mixture over the coffee, stirring gently to combine.
Optionally, top the latte with whipped cream and garnish with toasted shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy Coconut Custard Latte!
