Iced Brown Sugar Caramel Latte (Slightly sweet)
Iced Brown Sugar Caramel Latte! This slightly sweet and creamy latte is made with Nespresso, covered in whipped topping, and drizzled with thick caramel sauce! It’s perfect for those hotter days!
Funny story for you. During my college days, someone introduced me to the idea of coffee and brown sugar. And it was the most simple yet delicious thing. I went crazy for it! I was so obsessed with the coffee/brown sugar/creamer thing, I’d make mini pots of it, and drink so much that I couldn’t sleep at night. Let’s just say, I don’t do that anymore. HA! But, that idea brought this slightly sweet and creamy latte to life.
I made this latte with our Nespresso machine. However, if all you have is coffee grounds, no fear, just adjust the milk and brown sugar to your liking.
And for those that do own a Nespresso machine, I’ve listed a number of different pod options below. You can’t go wrong with any of them.
Tips For the Perfect Iced Brown Sugar Caramel Latte:
- Nespresso Pods – Either of these will work in this latte. I’ve tried them all and love them. Caramel Crème Brûlée, Ristretto Italiano, or Firenze Arpeggio. However, if you do have a different coffee machine, just be sure to use two shots for this recipe.
- Milk – I use The Original Oatly Oat Milk. It is free of dairy, nuts and gluten. It is also 100% vegan. With all of that, it is still super creamy and delicious as well.
- Caramel Sauce – Store bought or homemade is great. Here is my 5-Ingredient Vegan Caramel Sauce if you want to give it a try. It is so good!
- Brown Sugar – It’s fine to use light or dark sugar here. But please try the brown sugar in this latte. It is fabulous!

Ingredients

- 3/4 cup The Original Oatly Oat Milk, or milk of choice
- 1 heaping tbsp Brown Sugar
- Vegan Caramel Sauce or Dairy-Free Store Bought Caramel Sauce, for drizzling

Instructions

- Caramel Sauce: I love to drizzle the syrup on top, stir it in, and then drizzle a bit more. That way, you get some syrup in every sip.

Even though I’m not a coffee drinker this looks and sounds yummy! Knowing my taste for sugar, I’d probably quadruple the amount you suggest!!!
LOL, you’re too funny! 😉 And it is SO yummy! Brown sugar in coffee is the best.
