Chocolate Date Latte Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup non-dairy milk
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 2 dates, pitted
- ½ tsp cinnamon or 1-2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the non-dairy milk, cacao powder, pitted dates, cinnamon (powder or sticks), and vanilla extract to a small pot.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle low boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors and soften the dates.
- Remove Cinnamon: If using cinnamon sticks, remove them from the pot carefully before proceeding to the next step.
- Blend: Transfer the mixture to a blender, secure the lid tightly to prevent steam escaping, and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Enjoy the chocolate date latte warm by itself, poured over ice, or added to coffee for a delicious twist.
Notes
- Use fully ripe dates for maximum natural sweetness and smooth blending.
- You can substitute the non-dairy milk with your preferred variety such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the number of dates.
- For a spicier latte, add a pinch of ground nutmeg or ginger along with the cinnamon.
- To make a chilled version, allow the drink to cool after blending and serve over ice.
