Blue Cream Latte: A Sip of the Sky
How to Make a Stunning Blue Cream Latte at Home
Introducing a recipe for a Blue Cream Latte, a drink that captures the essence of a clear blue sky. This visually enchanting beverage offers a delightful balance of sweet, creamy topping and rich espresso.
Ingredients- 65g heavy whipping cream (chilled)
- 10g Blue Curaçao syrup
- Ice cubes, as needed
- 120ml Milk
- 2 shots Espresso
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To prepare the blue cream, combine 65g of chilled heavy whipping cream and 10g of Blue Curaçao syrup in a bowl. The Blue Curaçao syrup is key to achieving that beautiful sky-blue hue.
Step 2
Using a mini whisk or a hand mixer, whip the cream mixture. Whip until it reaches a soft peak consistency – it should be thick but still pourable, like gently flowing clouds. Be careful not to over-whip, as this can cause the cream to separate.
Step 3
Select your serving glass and fill it about 70% full with ice cubes. The ice not only cools the drink but also helps create distinct layers for a beautiful presentation.
Step 4
Gently pour 120ml of fresh milk over the ice. The milk will fill the spaces between the ice cubes, forming a smooth base for your latte.
Step 5
Slowly pour 2 shots of freshly brewed espresso over the ice. The hot espresso will gently meld with the milk, creating a lovely gradient effect while maintaining some separation.
Step 6
Finally, carefully spoon or pour the prepared blue cream mixture over the espresso. The cream will gently cascade down, creating a stunning visual contrast against the darker layers beneath.
Step 7
Your beautiful Blue Cream Latte is complete! Take a moment to admire its celestial appearance before enjoying the delightful combination of smooth cream, rich espresso, and cool milk.
