Recipe tips and variations

Looking for alternative flavours or missing ingredients? This delicious recipe is here to help.

Milk

For its creaminess, we prefer regular 2% milk for this recipe. If you feel more European, you can do your chestnut praline latte recipe with a 3.25% milk that has a consistency close to the milk in France. Almond milk is a great alternative if you're looking for more nuttiness. You can also choose between soy milk, coconut milk or oat milk.

Coffee

This recipe is best made with espresso, which has a bitter taste that pairs well with the sweet and nutty flavours. Brewed coffee is another option, but you don't have to have one. For the best latte, we recommend making your coffee stronger than normal.

Hot against ice

A chestnut praline latte is a winter flavour, but you can still enjoy it in the summer. To make an iced chestnut and praline latte, add cold milk to a cup of ice cubes. Syrup and espresso will then be added.

Toppings

As a fun topping, we recommend adding some pralines to our recipe. This optional step can be skipped, but it makes the latte more delicious. You can make a batch of delicious pralines quickly if you don't have any pralines. You can find the full recipe here.
