- 1 tbsp Nutella (heaping, adjust to taste)
- 1 shot espresso ((30 ml) or ⅓ cup strong brewed coffee)
- 1 cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tsp granulated sugar (optional)
- 1 tbsp whipped cream
- 0.5 tsp cocoa powder or chocolate shavings
- 1 Prepare the Espresso
Brew one shot of espresso (or use ⅓ cup strong brewed coffee if you don’t have an espresso machine). While the espresso is brewing, place Nutella into your coffee cup.
- 2 Mix Espresso and Nutella
Pour the hot espresso over the Nutella in your coffee cup. Stir until the Nutella is completely melted and combined with the espresso.
- 3 Steam the Milk
Heat the milk to around 65°C using a milk frother, steamer, or stovetop. Whisk vigorously to create a creamy froth if you’re heating on the stovetop.
- 4 Combine Milk and Espresso
Slowly pour the steamed milk over the Nutella-espresso mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon. Add the foam on top as the final layer.
- 5 Garnish and Serve
Top the latte with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or chocolate shavings for an indulgent finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
- For a dairy-free option, use almond, oat, or coconut milk.
- Adjust the Nutella quantity based on your desired sweetness and chocolate intensity.
- To make it extra indulgent, drizzle Nutella along the inside of the mug before pouring the coffee.
