Chef's Tip
Customize your drink with a flavoring of your choice - vanilla or chai spices - or simply enjoy it plain. This vegan latte can be served hot or cold/iced.
What makes this latte vegan?
It’s dairy free, crafted entirely with plant-based ingredients and Valrhona Amatika 46%, a vegan milk chocolate made with almond instead of dairy.
Can I use any plant-based milk?
Yes! Almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk all work beautifully. The flavor balance changes slightly depending on your choice.
Can I drink this vegan latte iced or cold?
Absolutely, chill the vegan latte after blending, pour over ice, and top with cold-frothed milk for a refreshing version.
What’s special about Amatika 46% chocolate?
Amatika combines the creaminess of milk chocolate with the ethics and natural appeal of plant-based ingredients, perfect for vegan baking and beverages.
How can flavor my vegan lattes?
Try infusing vanilla beans, or chai spices while heating the plant-based milk. These bring depth and aromatic complexity.
Can I make the vegan latte ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently without boiling to preserve the smooth texture.
