Peanut Butter Iced Latte Recipe

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

For the Latte

• 2 shots espresso (about ¼ cup), cooled
• 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• 2 cups milk (whole milk, oat milk, almond milk, or your favorite milk)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or simple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup ice cubes

Optional Toppings

• Whipped cream
• Peanut butter drizzle
• Chocolate syrup
• Crushed roasted peanuts
• Cocoa powder
• Mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Brew the Espresso

Prepare two shots of espresso using an espresso machine, moka pot, or strong brewed coffee.

Allow the coffee to cool slightly before using.

For an extra-cold latte, chill the espresso in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes.

Step 2: Mix the Peanut Butter Base

In a blender, combine:

• Cooled espresso
• Peanut butter
• Milk
• Maple syrup
• Vanilla extract

Blend for 20–30 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.

The peanut butter should be fully incorporated with no lumps remaining.

Step 3: Prepare the Glasses

Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes.

The more ice you use, the colder and more refreshing the latte will be.

Step 4: Assemble the Latte

Pour the blended peanut butter coffee mixture evenly over the ice.

Stir gently if needed.

Step 5: Add Toppings

For a coffeehouse-style presentation, top with:

• Whipped cream
• A drizzle of melted peanut butter
• Chocolate syrup
• Crushed peanuts

These toppings are optional but add extra flavor and visual appeal.

Step 6: Serve

Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy while cold.

Tips for the Best Peanut Butter Iced Latte

Use Creamy Peanut Butter

Natural creamy peanut butter blends most smoothly into the drink.

Chill the Coffee First

Hot coffee can melt the ice too quickly and dilute the flavor.

Blend Thoroughly

Blending ensures the peanut butter fully emulsifies with the milk and coffee.

Adjust Sweetness

Add more or less maple syrup depending on your taste preferences.

Make It Extra Rich

Use whole milk or add a splash of heavy cream for a creamier texture.

Variations

Chocolate Peanut Butter Iced Latte

Add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or chocolate syrup before blending.

Peanut Butter Banana Latte

Blend in ½ ripe banana for a smoothie-like drink.

Protein Peanut Butter Latte

Add 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder.

Mocha Peanut Butter Latte

Combine espresso, peanut butter, and chocolate milk.

Vegan Peanut Butter Latte

Use oat milk or almond milk and sweeten with maple syrup.

Make-Ahead Instructions

You can prepare the peanut butter coffee mixture up to 24 hours in advance.

Store it in a sealed jar in the refrigerator and shake well before serving over ice.

Storage

Refrigerator

Store the blended mixture in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
