Ingredients
Liquid Ingredients
- 3/4 cup strongly brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup plant milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Syrups and Sweeteners
- 3 tbsp white chocolate syrup (Torani brand recommended for vegan-friendly option)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
Toppings
- Non-dairy whipped cream
- Dairy-free white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Sweet Ingredients: Pour the white chocolate syrup, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract into a large mug. Stir thoroughly to combine all the sweet flavors evenly.
- Add Coffee: Brew strong coffee separately, then carefully add 3/4 cup of this hot coffee into the mug with the syrup mixture.
- Warm and Add Milk: Gently heat the plant-based milk until warm but not boiling, either on the stovetop or microwave. Pour the warmed milk into the mug and stir to blend all ingredients smoothly together.
- Finish with Toppings: Top your latte generously with non-dairy whipped cream and sprinkle dairy-free white chocolate chips on top for a rich, decadent finish. Serve immediately and enjoy with optional vegan strawberry muffins for a delightful pairing.
Notes
- You can customize the sweetness by adjusting the sugar or syrup amount according to your preference.
- Use any plant milk you like—almond, soy, oat, or coconut all work well for different flavors and textures.
- If you don’t have a microwave or stovetop handy, heat the milk carefully using a double boiler or kettle method to avoid scorching.
- For a chilled version, let the coffee and milk mixture cool down and add ice before topping with whipped cream.
- Ensure white chocolate syrup and chips are vegan-certified if you are strictly following a vegan diet.
