Feel Freda Talk

We got an espresso maker y’all!!

I’ve been loving this latte recipe so much; I’ve made it everyday since we got the machine, with the exception of one day I tried something else and wound up not even liking it.

I’ve already been asked a few times for this recipe, so here it is! This is enough for two lattes, so if you’re only making one, cut everything in half.

Ingredients:

• 4 tbsp Trader Joe’s cookie butter
• 1 tsp Trader Joe’s bourbon vanilla bean paste
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup oat milk, or milk of choice, plus more for the latte
• 2 tbsp whipped cream cheese
• 2 single shots of espresso
• lots of ice

Directions:

1. Melt the cookie butter in a glass cup in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
2. Put 1 tbsp in each espresso/latte cup and brew your shots of espresso right over the cookie butter.
3. While the espresso shots are brewing, leave the remaining 2 tbsp of cookie in the cup you microwaved and add the cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla bean paste, and oat milk, and use a frother to combine. This makes the cookie butter cheesecake cold foam we’ll be pouring on top!
   • If you don’t have a frother, you can try whisking or using a hand mixer instead.
4. Once both shots of espresso are ready, make sure to stir to combine. We want the cookie butter to melt into the espresso.
5. If you brewed your espresso into a cup big enough to drink out of, you can add the ice and oat milk (or milk of choice).
   • If you brewed the espresso into an espresso cup, you can put the ice and milk in your drinking cup first and then add the espresso. (This is just for that layered look.)
6. Top with the cold foam, give it a little stir, and enjoy!!
