Print Recipe

A cozy and indulgent cherry almond latte with a rich dark chocolate drizzle, perfect for quick mornings or relaxing moments. Combines tart cherry, nutty almond, and bittersweet chocolate for a delightful café-style treat at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 60 ml) freshly brewed espresso
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons cherry syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tablespoon almond syrup (e.g., Torani or Monin)
  • 1 ounce (28 g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped or chips
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare 2 shots (~60 ml) of espresso using your machine or stovetop method. Set aside.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of milk into a small saucepan over medium heat, warming it until hot but not boiling (about 150°F/65°C). Use a frother or whisk to create a light foam with a silky texture.
  3. In your serving cup, combine 2 tablespoons cherry syrup and 1 tablespoon almond syrup. Add 1 teaspoon honey or sugar if desired and stir until dissolved.
  4. Slowly pour the brewed espresso into the cup, stirring gently to blend with the syrups.
  5. Pour the warm, frothed milk over the espresso mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon. Then spoon the foam on top to create a frothy cap.
  6. Melt 1 ounce (28 g) of chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, or melt gently in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth.
  7. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the foam in a swirling pattern using a spoon or piping bag. Allow the chocolate to set slightly for a glossy finish.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy warm.

Notes

Use fresh espresso shots for best flavor. Warm milk to about 150°F/65°C and froth to a silky texture, not stiff bubbles. Melt chocolate gently to avoid burning. Drizzle chocolate last to keep it glossy. For dairy-free, substitute almond or oat milk and use dairy-free dark chocolate. Strong brewed coffee can substitute espresso but with less intensity.
