Brown Sugar Cinnamon Sweet Cream Latte
Looking for the perfect homemade iced latte? One that’s cozy, creamy, and full of fall-inspired flavor without a trip to the coffee shop? This Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Sweet Cream Latte might just be your new favorite. It’s the kind of drink that feels like a warm hug, even when served over ice.
Whether you’re easing into autumn or just love a coffee that tastes like comfort in a cup, this easy latte recipe delivers all the flavor with minimal effort. The secret? A rich sweet cream made from heavy cream, brown sugar, and cinnamon, whisked to soft perfection and poured over your favorite espresso.
Ingredients You’ll Need
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup milk of choice
1 shot of espresso (or 2 if you like it bold)
ice
How to Make it
Step 1: The sweet cream
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, brown sugar, and cinnamon until slightly thickened. You’re looking for a consistency that’s silky and pourable—not completely whipped, but just enough body to float on top of your latte.
Step 2: Build your latte
Fill a glass with ice. Pour in your milk of choice, then top with a freshly brewed shot of espresso.
Step 3: Pour over the sweet cream
Slowly pour your sweet cream mixture over the top. It will float beautifully for that café-style layered look.
Step 4: Sip and enjoy!
Give it a little stir to swirl the flavors together, or sip as-is for a creamy top-layer experience. Either way, you’re in for a treat.
Tips & Variations
A dash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg can elevate the flavor even more.
Make it dairy-free. Swap the heavy cream for full-fat coconut cream and use a non-dairy milk like oat, almond, or soy.
This sweet cream is just as delicious over a hot latte, just skip the ice and steam your milk.
