Creamy iced coffee meets the signature caramelised crunch of crème brûlée. This Crème Brûlée Iced Latte combines fresh espresso and cold milk with a smooth cold foam, finished with a thin layer of sugar that’s torched until golden and crisp.
Simple, indulgent and made with familiar café ingredients, it’s an easy way to turn an iced latte into something special.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Method
————
1. Brew the espresso
Prepare two shots of espresso and allow them to cool slightly.
2. Build the iced latte
Fill a glass with ice and add the cold milk. Pour the espresso over the top and gently stir to combine.
3. Add the cold foam
Top the iced latte with a generous, even layer of cold foam, bringing it close to the rim of the glass.
4. Add the sugar
Sprinkle a thin, even layer of caster sugar over the cold foam. Avoid adding too much — you only need enough to create the caramelised crust.
5. Brûlée the top
Using a kitchen blowtorch, carefully caramelise the sugar until golden and crisp. Keep the torch moving to avoid burning one area.
Allow the caramelised sugar to set briefly before serving.
