Ingredients
🍫 Chocolate syrup, preferred amount
🍒 Homemade cherry compote, preferred amount
❄️ Ice cubes, enough to fill your glass
🥛 Milk, enough to fill most of the glass
☕ 1 shot espresso or strong coffee, preferred amount
🍦 Whipped cream, for topping
🍫 Chocolate shavings, for garnish
🍒 Fresh cherry, for garnish
🍫 Chocolate ring/curl, for garnish
Instructions
1- Prepare the Glass:
- Start by adding a generous drizzle of chocolate syrup to the bottom of a clear serving glass.
- With a small white spoon, spread the syrup decoratively up the insides of the glass to achieve an artistic drip effect.
2- Create the Cherry Layer:
- Carefully spoon homemade cherry compote into the glass, allowing it to sit delicately over the chocolate syrup, forming the base of your latte.
3- Add Ice and Milk:
- Fill the glass with clear and well-formed ice cubes, creating an insulating layer that supports the milk.
- Pour enough milk over the ice cubes to fill most of the glass, creating a creamy layer.
4- Espresso Layer:
- Gently pour a shot of espresso or strong coffee into the glass. Allow it to mix slightly with the milk, forming beautiful swirls of rich brown and creamy white.
5- Final Touches:
- Add a generous swirl of whipped cream on top of your drink, resembling the frosting on a cake.
- Sprinkle chocolate shavings for an additional touch of decadence.
- Garnish the top with a small chocolate ring or curl and a fresh cherry to mimic the iconic elements of a Black Forest cake.
