Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Freshly brewed espresso
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- optional (for topping) Whipped cream
- optional (for garnish) Cocoa powder
Instructions
In a small saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the mixture from scorching.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry. Once the milk mixture begins to steam (but not boil), slowly pour the slurry into the saucepan while whisking continuously.
Cook the mixture on medium heat until it begins to thicken. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Keep stirring to achieve a smooth texture.
Reduce the heat to low and add the freshly brewed espresso and vanilla extract. Stir gently until fully combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the drink cool slightly for 1-2 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and thickens the drink further.
Pour the Coffee Latte Thickster into serving glasses or mugs.
Optionally, top with whipped cream and a light dusting of cocoa powder for an extra indulgent touch.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, dreamy Coffee Latte Thickster!
