Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To begin making the cream puff topping, measure 150ml of heavy cream and 1 Tbsp of sugar into a clean, dry bowl. Using a dry bowl is key for achieving good whip on your cream.
Step 2
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the cream. Continue whipping until the sugar is fully dissolved and soft peaks begin to form. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn into butter.
Step 3
Once the cream holds soft peaks, gently add in the 2 egg yolks. After adding the yolks, whip just until combined – avoid overmixing at this stage.
Step 4
Stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract (or a splash of lemon juice for a touch of brightness). Whip gently until everything is smoothly incorporated. This cream mixture can be stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Step 5
Now, let’s prepare the coffee latte base. In a small mug or heatproof cup, add 7g of instant coffee powder. Pour in 150ml of warm water and stir well until the coffee is completely dissolved. Ensure it’s fully dissolved for a rich coffee flavor.
Step 6
Generously spoon the prepared cream puff topping over your warm coffee latte base. The smooth, sweet cream will meld beautifully with the coffee for a truly divine taste. Enjoy your creation!
Step 7
Making the matcha latte version is just as simple! In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 Tbsp matcha powder, 1 Tbsp sugar, and 100ml of milk. Stir well to prevent clumps. Microwave for about 30 seconds to help the powders dissolve. Add the remaining 300ml of milk and stir thoroughly to create the matcha latte base. Finally, top with the cream puff mixture for a fragrant Matcha Cream Puff Latte.
