Makes: 1 latte
Ingredients
- 1 cup 2% milk (or dairy/non-dairy alternative of your choice)
- 3 Tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3-4 drops red food coloring
- 2 oz espresso or strongly brewed coffee
Cream Cheese Whipped Cream
- 1 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 Tbsp confectioners' sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 5 Tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
- Add milk and chocolate chips to a small saucepan over low-medium heat. Heat for about 10 minutes, while whisking, until milk is hot (140-145 degrees) and chocolate has melted.
- Remove saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla and red food coloring.
- Pour espresso into a heat-proof mug or glass.
- Pour hot red velvet chocolate milk over the espresso.
- Top with cream cheese whipped cream and sprinkles, if desired.
Cream Cheese Whipped Cream
- Put cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl and mix together using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until completely combined.
- Add vanilla and cream to bowl and using a hand mixer (or using a whisk and your own arm strength), beat until soft peaks are formed.
Notes
- This recipe makes one red velvet latte, but can easily be double or tripled for more. You can double or triple the latte recipe in the same saucepan and can double or triple the cream cheese whipped cream recipe in the same bowl.
