Starbucks Copycat Caramel Brulee Latte

If you are a Starbucks specialty coffee lover, you’ll love making this version at home.

Starbucks Caramel Brûlée Latte typically is part of the winter or holiday menu showing up between November and January.

The Starbucks Secret Menu site even has their recipe!

This knock off recipe let’s you make a similar drink at home with loads of flexibility to make it to your liking and preferences.

What is a Caramel Brulee Latte?

The word brulee is French meaning burnt or scorched. It’s referring to the hardened sugar topping you’d find on Creme Brulee.

The latte has caramel flavoring (Starbucks calls it brulee sauce) AND small shards of broken salted sugar on the top, which is a brulee topping.

We’ve simplified things with this recipe. Instead of baking the sugar and sea salt for a topping we’ve used salted caramel.

This gives the salty and sweet flavors and makes the coffee drink easier and faster to make.

Recipe Ingredients + Notes

Milk. I used dairy milk when making the recipe but any any milk can be used. Use any fat dairy milk, nut milk, coconut milk, oat milk. Each will change the flavor of the latte slightly but use what you love.

Salted Caramel Sauce. I love homemade salted caramel sauce but store bought caramel sauce works great too. If you prefer regular caramel sauce over salted caramel, make that swap.

Also you can use a caramel syrup like Torani caramel syrup or the type of caramel sauce you’d put on ice cream. Save some to drizzle on the top too!

Vanilla Extract. Will be used to add flavor both to the lattes and the whipped cream for the topping.

Espresso or strong coffee. Either use 4 shots of espresso (two per latte) or one half cup of strong brewed coffee.

Heavy whipping cream. Used for the homemade whipped topping.

Sugar. Either granulated sugar or confectioner’s (powdered) sugar can be used. It will sweeten the whipped cream for the topping.

Variations

Just like ordering from Starbucks this drink is really easy to change up in any way you want it to.

Make it sugar free. Use sugar free caramel sauce and prepared sugar free whipped topping.

Make it vegan. Use a store bought or homemade vegan caramel sauce and a preferred vegan milk.

Make it low fat or low calorie. Pick a low fat caramel sauce, non fat dairy milk or a lower calorie nut milk like almond milk. Use prepared low fat whipped topping.

Use less milk. Between the milk in the latte and the whipped topping there is alot of milk. If you prefer less, reduce the amount you heat to mix with the coffee.
