A delightful Berry Chantilly Latte featuring a homemade strawberry almond syrup combined with rich espresso and creamy unsweetened vanilla almond milk, topped with whipped cream and crushed freeze-dried strawberries for an indulgent, fruity twist on a classic latte.

Ingredients

Strawberry Syrup

  • 1 heaping cup diced or quartered strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract, plus more to taste

Coffee

  • 2 shots espresso
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Crushed freeze-dried strawberries (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Make Strawberry Almond Syrup: Place a small pot over medium heat and add the diced strawberries and pure maple syrup. Mash the strawberries gently with a fork and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries release their juices, achieving a jelly-like consistency.
  2. Strain the Syrup: Pour the cooked strawberry mixture into a small sieve set over a bowl. Use the back of a spoon to press and stir the mixture, extracting as much strawberry syrup as possible through the sieve. Discard solids. Stir in 1 teaspoon of almond extract into the strained syrup. The yield should be about 4 to 5 tablespoons of flavorful strawberry almond syrup. Store this syrup in the refrigerator until use.
  3. Combine Latte Ingredients: In a mason jar or any container with a lid, pour 2 shots of hot espresso, 3 tablespoons of the prepared strawberry almond syrup, and 1 ½ cups of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Secure the lid tightly.
  4. Shake and Serve: Shake the jar vigorously for about 30 seconds until all ingredients are well combined and slightly frothy. Fill a glass with ice and pour the shaken latte over the ice.
  5. Add Toppings: Optionally, top the latte with whipped cream and sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries on top for added texture, flavor, and a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing Berry Chantilly Latte.

Notes

  • The strawberry almond syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Adjust the almond extract quantity to your taste preference for a more pronounced nutty flavor.
  • Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor; alternatively, strong brewed coffee can be used.
  • Unsweetened vanilla almond milk provides a subtle sweetness and creaminess without added sugars.
  • The whipped cream topping is optional but adds a luxurious texture and flavor contrast.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries can be found in specialty grocery stores or online, and add a nice crunch and vibrant color as a garnish.
