Ingredients

Units Scale

Chestnut Praline Syrup

  • 1/2 cup raw pecans (55g)
  • 5-6 peeled cooked chestnuts (100g)
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract or vanilla paste
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt

Chestnut Praline Latte

  • 2 shots of espresso
  • 1/2 cup oat milk
  • 1-2 tbsp chestnut praline syrup (or to taste)
  • Whipped cream (optional, I used coconut)

Instructions

Chestnut Praline Syrup

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C).
  2. Break up the chestnut into quarters or halves and add them to a baking sheet along with pecans.
  3. Roast them for 10 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
  4. Chop up both roughly and add to a medium saucepan with dark brown sugar, cane sugar, and water.
  5. Bring everything to a a boil stirring often to make sure the sugar dissolves and doesn’t burn.
  6. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
  7. Take the mixture off the heat, add vanilla extract and sea salt, stir, and allow to cool for another 10 minutes.
  8. Strain the syrup into a jar and allow it to cool completely before closing it with a lid and storing it in the fridge.

Chestnut Praline Latte

  1. Brew two shots of espresso. While it’s brewing, froth your milk. If you don’t have a milk frother that warms up your milk, warm it up first on the stove and then froth using a milk frother.
  2. Pour warm frothy milk into a glass cup and add espresso and the syrup.
  3. Top with whipped cream and praline topping (see notes) if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Chestnut Praline topping: I like making a lazy version which is just turbinado sugar mixed with a little bit of cinnamon. It adds crunch and spice but is really easy to make. You can also toast a few pecans in the oven at 350F for 5-10 minutes, finely chop them up and mix with the sugar and cinnamon. Finely chopped candied pecans would also be delicious!

Chestnut Praline syrup: The recipe yields 1 cup of syrup. Store the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Iced latte: You can make the same thing iced, just don’t warm up the milk. Fill a glass with ice, pour everything over the ice and enjoy!
