Equipment

  • Milk frother

Ingredients
 

Cream Cheese Cold Foam

  • 3 tbsp whipped cream cheese ((or Trader Joe's Carrot Cake Whipped Cream Cheese))
  • 2 tbsp vanilla syrup
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp whole milk

Carrot Cake Latte

  • 2 tbsp carrot cake syrup
  • ¾ cup milk of choice ((I used 2%))
  • 2 oz espresso
  • ice

Instructions
 

  • Place the whipped cream cheese, vanilla syrup, heavy cream, and whole milk in a small glass or jar, then froth until smooth and creamy. The mixture should become airy and glossy while remaining loose enough to pour.
  • Fill a tall glass with ice, add the carrot cake syrup, pour in the milk, and stir until the syrup is evenly blended. The milk should take on a lightly tinted, sweet-spiced appearance with no syrup pooled at the bottom.
  • Pour the espresso over the sweetened milk, then finish with the prepared cream cheese foam. A dark coffee layer beneath the milk and a pale foam cap signal a balanced, café-style build.

Notes

Texture tip: Froth the cold foam only for 20 to 30 seconds until it reaches a pourable ribbon stage. If it thickens into a paste, stir in a splash of cold milk to loosen it.
Temperature tip: Keep the cream cheese, heavy cream, and milk thoroughly chilled before frothing to prevent the dairy from separating.
Coffee balance: Opt for a bold, dark espresso roast or strong cold brew concentrate to provide contrast against the sweet syrup and rich foam topping.
