This dairy-free Snickerdoodle White Chocolate Latte is a fun drink to whip up for an afternoon treat. Made with strong coffee, non-dairy milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cacao butter, it’s delicious!

Happy Friday night! What are you all up to this weekend? I wasn’t going to post this tonight, but my gosh, the lockdown boredom is doing strange things to my posting schedule. I think I am going to work on a few summery recipes (my plan is to develop a couple of quinoa breakfast recipes, a summery lasagna, cauliflower tabbouleh, and harissa hummus with halloumi and citrus honey), and aside from that, spend lots of time outside. It should be nice.

I figured that a fun warm drink recipe was in order before spring gives way to summer. This white chocolate snickerdoodle latte is inspired by something that I saw on Instagram awhile back with a barista talking about off-menu drinks that people can order. I thought that a white chocolate snickerdoodle latte sounded pretty delicious, so I decided to try making my own version at home using strong coffee, almond milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted cacao butter. It ended up being quite good, if I do say so myself!

white chocolate snickerdoodle latte details

This dairy-free blender latte is really quite simple. All that you need is a blender and the following ingredients:

Strong brewed coffee or espresso, non-dairy milk, brown sugar, cacao butter, cashew or almond butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. The brown sugar and cinnamon give this latte a snickerdoodle cookie flavour, while the cacao butter gives it that white chocolate undertone.

the method

Simply brew your coffee using your favourite method- I used a French press. In a small saucepan, warm the milk, brown sugar, cacao butter, nut butter, and cinnamon over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Whisk in the vanilla.

Add the brewed coffee and warmed milk mixture to an upright blender and blend for 15 seconds, starting on low speed and increasing to high. Leave a small amount of space between the blender jar and the lid to allow steam to escape. There will be a nice layer of latte foam on top when you turn off the blender.

Enjoy immediately or return to the stove to bring back up to your preferred temperature.
