Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 shots Freshly brewed espresso
- 1 cup Whole milk (or alternative milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons Caramel sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate syrup
- 0.25 cup Whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon Toasted pecans (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Salted caramel drizzle
Instructions
Brew two shots of espresso using your espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, steam and froth the milk until hot and slightly foamy. Alternatively, use a handheld frother or the steam wand on your espresso machine.
In a large coffee mug, combine the caramel sauce and chocolate syrup. Stir to mix.
Pour the hot espresso into the mug over the caramel-chocolate mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Slowly pour the steamed milk into the mug, holding back the foam with a spoon to layer the milk. Top with the foam once the mug is nearly full.
Add a generous swirl of whipped cream to the top of the latte.
Sprinkle the whipped cream with chopped toasted pecans and a pinch of chocolate shavings or cocoa powder.
Finish with a drizzle of salted caramel sauce over the toppings for an extra decadent touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Turtle Dove Latte!
