A cozy and indulgent latte combining rich dulce de leche with bold espresso and a salted caramel drizzle, perfect for quick and comforting coffee moments.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 2 shots (30–60 ml) espresso or strong coffee
  • 2 tablespoons (about 40g) dulce de leche (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole milk preferred, or skim/oat/almond milk for alternatives)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) salted caramel sauce for drizzling
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness
  • Optional: pinch of flaky sea salt for topping
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for spiced variation

Instructions

  1. Brew 1-2 shots (30-60 ml) of espresso or prepare a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method (3-5 minutes).
  2. Heat 1 cup (240 ml) of milk until steaming but not boiling (about 150°F or 65°C). Froth the milk using a milk frother or steam wand, or heat in a saucepan and whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes.
  3. In a latte mug, add 2 tablespoons (40g) of dulce de leche. Pour the hot espresso over it and stir thoroughly until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Slowly pour the steamed milk into the coffee-dulce de leche mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon. Then spoon the foam on top.
  5. Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of salted caramel sauce over the foam. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top if desired.
  6. Optional: Stir in 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup before adding milk for extra sweetness.

Notes

Use fresh espresso or strong coffee for best flavor. Warm the salted caramel sauce slightly if thick to drizzle smoothly. Avoid scalding milk to prevent bitterness. Mixing dulce de leche into hot espresso first prevents clumps. For dairy-free, use oat or almond milk. Optional spices like cinnamon or nutmeg add warmth.
