Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the luscious cream base for your latte. In a chilled bowl, combine 70g of cold heavy whipping cream with 10g of granulated sugar. The sugar helps stabilize the cream as it whips.
Step 2
Using a mini electric whisk or a hand whisk, whip the cream mixture. Continue whisking until stiff peaks form – this means when you lift the whisk, the cream should stand up in a firm, pointy shape without drooping. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn into butter.
Step 3
Select your favorite glass or mug for serving. Fill it about 70% full with ice cubes. The ice will keep your latte refreshingly cold and also helps the espresso gently incorporate later.
Step 4
Gently pour 110ml of fresh, cold milk over the ice. The milk forms the smooth foundation of your latte.
Step 5
Drizzle 15g of hazelnut syrup over the milk. This adds a wonderful nutty sweetness. Feel free to adjust the amount to your personal preference.
Step 6
Spoon 2 to 3 generous tablespoons of the whipped cream base you prepared earlier onto the milk mixture. This creates a delightful creamy layer.
Step 7
Prepare to brew your espresso. Brew 2 shots of rich espresso directly into a shot glass or a small pitcher. It’s best to brew this just before adding it to keep it hot and fresh.
Step 8
Carefully pour the freshly brewed hot espresso over the cream and milk layers in the glass. The warmth of the espresso will gently melt into the other ingredients.
Step 9
Add one final, generous spoonful of the remaining whipped cream on top of the espresso layer. Aim to create a beautiful, fluffy mound that resembles a cloud.
Step 10
For an extra touch of elegance and flavor, lightly dust the top with cocoa powder using a small sieve. This adds a subtle hint of chocolate and a beautiful finish.
Step 11
And there you have it – your exquisite Hazelnut Cream Latte is ready to be enjoyed! Sip and savor the homemade cafe experience.
