Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 1 serving
Instructions:
1. Begin by pulling 2 ounces of your favorite espresso shot using your espresso machine.
2. While the espresso is brewing, steam 10 ounces of milk to your preferred temperature and texture, ideally frothy with some microfoam for a creamy latte.
3. In a serving glass or mug, combine 1 ounce of chocolate sauce with 1/2 ounce of peanut butter syrup. Stir well to incorporate the flavors.
4. Pour the freshly brewed espresso into the mixture of chocolate sauce and peanut butter syrup. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
5. Add the steamed milk to the glass, pouring gently to mix it with the espresso blend. You can hold back the foam with a spoon and top the latte with it afterward for a layered effect.
6. Top off your latte with whipped cream to your liking.
7. Garnish the whipped cream with chopped peanut butter cup candy for that extra decadence.
8. Give the Peanut Butter Cup Latte a final stir to blend the toppings slightly with the drink, or leave it layered for a beautiful presentation.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet and comforting taste of a peanut butter cup in your coffee!
