Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the cream base. In a clean pitcher or bowl, combine 60g of cold heavy whipping cream and 5g of sugar. The sugar will add sweetness and help stabilize the cream.
Step 2
Using a mini electric frother or a hand mixer, whip the cream until it becomes smooth and fluffy. Start on a low speed and gradually increase. Whip until soft peaks form – it should be light and airy, similar to soft-serve ice cream. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can curdle.
Step 3
Your cream base is ready! Set it aside while you prepare the latte base.
Step 4
Choose a clear glass for your latte. Fill it about two-thirds full with ice cubes. This will keep your drink refreshingly cold.
Step 5
Pour 110ml of cold milk over the ice. The milk forms the smooth, milky foundation of your latte.
Step 6
Brew 2 shots of fresh espresso. Gently pour the hot espresso over the milk. The rich aroma and robust flavor of the espresso will beautifully blend with the milk.
Step 7
Carefully spoon the prepared cream base over the espresso. Let it sit gently on top, creating a lovely contrast with the dark espresso and white milk below.
Step 8
Using a spatula or spoon, gently smooth the surface of the cream. This creates a neat canvas for your marshmallows and enhances the presentation.
Step 9
Finally, place 2 lightly toasted marshmallows on top of the cream. A quick toast under a broiler or with a kitchen torch adds a lovely caramelized flavor and a beautiful finish.
Step 10
Your Marshmallow Cream Latte is complete! Enjoy the delightful combination of smooth cream, rich espresso, and sweet, toasted marshmallows.
