Method
- Prepare the Pecan Crunch Drizzle: In a small saucepan, melt the granulated sugar over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until it fully dissolves and turns into a light amber caramel.
- Carefully stir in 1 tablespoon of pecan coffee syrup and the kosher salt. Be mindful as the mixture will bubble vigorously. Continue stirring until smooth, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly to thicken.
- Prepare the Creamy Foam: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, 2% milk, and vanilla syrup until well combined and slightly frothy. You can use a hand whisk or a milk frother.
- Brew the espresso shots directly into a heatproof mug or glass. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of pecan coffee syrup until fully dissolved.
- Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour the chilled oat milk over the ice.
- Slowly pour the sweetened espresso over the oat milk. For distinct layers, pour over the back of a spoon.
- Spoon the prepared creamy foam over the latte. Drizzle generously with the pecan crunch sauce and sprinkle with chopped candied pecans.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Pecan Crunch Latte.
Notes
You can make the pecan crunch drizzle ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Gently warm it before using if it's too thick.
Adjust the amount of pecan coffee syrup in the latte to your sweetness preference. For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a tiny pinch of cinnamon to the pecan crunch drizzle.
