Ingredients
Latte Base
- 3 tablespoons marshmallow fluff
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 ounces espresso
- 1 cup milk (of choice)
- Ice, as needed
Cold Foam Topping
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon marshmallow fluff
- 1 pinch salt
Garnish
- 2 teaspoons nutter butter crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Use the back of a spoon to spread 3 tablespoons of marshmallow fluff around the inside of a glass, then fill the glass about three-quarters full with ice to chill and set the base flavor.
- Create the Espresso Mixture: In a separate glass, combine 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 2 teaspoons light brown sugar, and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Brew 2 ounces of espresso over this mixture. Using a hand frother, mix thoroughly until the peanut butter and sugar have completely dissolved, creating a smooth, flavorful concentrate.
- Assemble the Latte: Pour the prepared espresso mixture into the glass containing ice and marshmallow fluff. Add 1 cup of your preferred milk, blending the rich espresso base with the creamy milk for a balanced latte flavor.
- Make the Cold Foam: In another glass, combine 3 tablespoons heavy cream, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon marshmallow fluff, and a pinch of salt. Use a hand frother to whip the mixture until it becomes thick and fluffy, forming a luscious cold foam topping.
- Finish and Serve: Gently top the latte with the prepared cold foam. Finally, sprinkle 2 teaspoons of nutter butter crumbs over the foam for an added crunchy texture and peanut butter cookie flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your fluffy latte creation.
