Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup non-dairy milk
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 2 dates, pitted
- ½ tsp cinnamon or 1-2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add non-dairy milk, cacao powder, pitted dates, cinnamon, and vanilla to a pot.
- Simmer Mixture: Bring the mixture to a low boil and then let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to meld the flavors and soften the dates.
- Blend Ingredients: Remove the cinnamon sticks if used. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth, ensuring the blender cap is secure to prevent steam from escaping.
- Serve: Enjoy the chocolate date latte by itself, over ice, or poured over your favorite coffee for an extra chocolatey twist.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for a naturally sweeter result and smoother texture.
- For a richer flavor, substitute non-dairy milk with oat milk or almond milk.
- If cinnamon sticks are unavailable, ground cinnamon works as a convenient substitute.
- Serve chilled by refrigerating the mixture before blending or add ice cubes when serving.
- This latte can be sweetened further with a splash of maple syrup if desired.
