Ingredients
For the Salted Brown Butter Topping:
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1 pinch flaky salt, to taste
- 1 splash vanilla extract
For the 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 chopped pistachios, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Brown Butter Topping: Add butter to a small skillet and heat over medium-low to low heat until melted and the milk solids begin to brown and become fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in dark brown sugar until combined. Allow to cool slightly, then stir in a splash of vanilla extract and a pinch or two of flaky salt to taste. Set aside to solidify as it cools.
- Prepare the Pistachio Latte: In a 10-ounce mug, combine the pistachio butter and sweetened condensed milk. Brew or pour a hot shot of espresso into the mug. Stir or blend the mixture until combined, noting that some settling may occur due to the nut butter.
- Steam and Froth Milk: Heat and froth the oat milk using a steamer/frother, such as the frothing function on a Keurig K-Cafe. Alternatively, warm milk on the stovetop and froth with a frothing whisk until foamy.
- Assemble the Latte: Pour the warm, steamed milk into the mug with the pistachio espresso mixture. Spoon a generous amount of the salted brown butter topping over the latte. Garnish with a pinch of chopped pistachios if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Best milks for frothing are heavy cream, half & half, whole milk, oat milk (especially barista blends), almond milk, coconut milk, and soy milk.
- Using a good quality pistachio butter enhances the nutty flavor.
- The salted brown butter topping will solidify as it cools; warm slightly before spooning if needed.
- This recipe yields a single 10 oz serving but can be doubled or tripled for more servings.
