Create Your Own Cafe-Quality Dolce Latte at Home
Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for a deliciously sweet Dolce Latte that’s perfect for a delightful break. Experience the rich flavor of espresso harmonized with the sweet creaminess of condensed milk for a café-worthy treat right in your kitchen!
Ingredients- Generous amount of fresh ice cubes
- 170ml cold milk
- 20g sweetened condensed milk (adjust to taste)
- 2 shots of espresso (approx. 60ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Measure your coffee beans for 2 espresso shots and add them to your grinder. Secure the lid firmly. The freshness of the beans is key to a great latte!
Step 2
Carefully transfer the ground coffee into the portafilter basket. Ensure the grounds are evenly distributed (leveling) and then press down firmly and evenly with a tamper (tamping). This step is crucial for consistent espresso extraction.
Step 3
Securely lock the portafilter into the coffee machine’s group head. You should feel it click into place.
Step 4
Press the button to extract 2 shots of rich espresso, aiming for about 60ml. Look for a beautiful, golden-brown crema on top – that’s a sign of a perfect shot!
Step 5
Fill your chosen glass or mug generously with fresh ice cubes. Using plenty of ice will keep your latte refreshingly cold for longer.
Step 6
Slowly pour 170ml of cold milk over the ice. The milk adds a wonderful creaminess that complements the espresso beautifully.
Step 7
Drizzle 20g of sweetened condensed milk over the milk. You can adjust the amount of condensed milk to control the sweetness. I recommend starting with a little and adding more if needed after tasting.
Step 8
Finally, carefully pour the freshly extracted 2 shots of espresso over the condensed milk and milk. Enjoy watching the layers form and inhale the inviting aroma as the coffee mingles with the sweet, milky base.
Step 9
For a decorative touch and to help with mixing, you can insert a muddler (or a bar spoon) into the cup. Letting the drink sit for a moment allows the flavors to meld perfectly before you take your first sip.
Step 10
Your delicious and creamy Dolce Latte is complete! Enjoy this simple yet special homemade treat.
