Homemade Cinnamon Roll Lattes >>>>
Syrup recipe is on my website!
The icing on this cake (other than our homemade syrup) is this cream cheese cold foam:
Ingredients
1 tbsp cream cheese, softened
2 oz heavy cream
2 oz milk (whole or alt)
1–2 tbsp powdered sugar (key for that frosting vibe)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Tiny pinch salt
🥄 Instructions
Add everything & froth
Froth until thick but still pourable
Taste : add a little more powdered sugar if you want it sweeter.
Pour over iced coffee or cold brew.
Making cinnamon roll lattes at home is a wonderful way to enjoy a café-style treat without leaving your kitchen. I've found that the key to an authentic cinnamon roll latte experience lies in the combination of a well-balanced syrup and a luscious cream cheese cold foam. The syrup, especially when made with pure almond extract and quality cinnamon, provides that warm, spicy-sweet flavor reminiscent of fresh-baked cinnamon rolls. In my experience, preparing the cream cheese cold foam adds a luxurious texture and taste. Using full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream ensures the foam is thick yet still pourable, mimicking the frosting on a cinnamon roll. The addition of powdered sugar is essential; it not only sweetens the foam but also gives it that signature frosting vibe. Tiny tweaks like a pinch of salt and a splash of vanilla extract elevate the taste profile, balancing sweetness and enhancing depth. When making the drink, I like to combine my homemade cinnamon roll syrup with iced coffee or cold brew for a refreshing twist. The cold foam poured on top creates a delightful contrast in temperature and mouthfeel. To froth the cream cheese mixture effectively, I typically use a handheld milk frother, which works great at home and produces that creamy, airy consistency appreciated in coffee shops. One tip I’ve learned is to adjust the sweetness of the foam to your liking by experimenting with the amount of powdered sugar. Some prefer a sweeter foam that acts almost like a dessert topping, while others enjoy a more subtle sweetness to maintain balance with the coffee’s bitterness. This homemade cinnamon roll latte recipe is versatile and easy to customize, making it a perfect cozy beverage for any time of the day.
