How to make Little Debbie Christmas Tree Latte: a step-by-step guide
Make Coffee Ice Cubes (ahead of time):
Brew strong coffee, pour it into an ice tray, and freeze overnight. This keeps your latte bold and flavorful without watering it down.
Prepare the Cold Foam:
In a small cup or frother, combine the heavy cream, creamer, cake batter extract, and white chocolate syrup. Froth until thick and fluffy.
Make the Espresso/Strong Coffee:
In another cup, whisk 2–3 tsp instant coffee with hot water until frothy and concentrated. (Or pull one shot from your espresso machine.)
Assemble the Latte:
Fill a tall glass with coffee ice cubes. Pour your espresso over the ice.
Top It Off:
Spoon your Little Debbie cold foam over the coffee. Drizzle red icing in zigzags and sprinkle with green sprinkles.
Enjoy:
Grab your cozy blanket, put on a Christmas movie, and sip your festive creation!
