Ingredients

Salted Brown Butter Topping

  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 1 pinch flaky salt, to taste
  • 1 splash vanilla extract

Pistachio Latte

  • 1 tablespoon pistachio butter
  • 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 shot espresso
  • 3/4 cup oat milk, preferably Oatly barista blend or milk of choice
  • 1 pinch pistachios, chopped, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Salted Brown Butter Topping: In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir until it starts to brown lightly, releasing a nutty aroma. Add the dark brown sugar and a pinch of flaky salt, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in a splash of vanilla extract. Set aside.
  2. Heat Oat Milk: Warm the oat milk gently on the stovetop or use a milk frother to heat and froth it, aiming for a creamy texture without boiling.
  3. Make Pistachio Latte Base: In your latte cup, combine the pistachio butter and sweetened condensed milk. Pour in the shot of espresso and stir vigorously to blend all ingredients into a smooth, rich mixture.
  4. Combine and Serve: Slowly pour the steamed oat milk into the cup over the espresso mixture, stirring gently to combine. Top the latte with the prepared salted brown butter sauce and garnish with a pinch of chopped pistachios if desired.

Notes

  • Use barista blend oat milk for better frothing and creaminess.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of sweetened condensed milk.
  • The salted brown butter topping adds a unique savory-sweet dimension; feel free to omit for a simpler latte.
  • Espresso can be substituted with strong brewed coffee if preferred.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter and sweetened condensed milk with plant-based alternatives.
