How to Make a Banana Pudding Cookie Butter Latte

Start by blending together the banana, milk, vanilla, cookie butter, and sea salt until completely smooth.

Spread a spoonful of cookie butter around the inside of your serving glass, then fill the glass with ice.

Pour in the homemade banana milk followed by the espresso.

In a separate cup, froth together the heavy cream, milk, pudding mix, and optional food coloring until thick and fluffy.

Top the latte with the banana pudding cold foam, then finish with crushed vanilla wafers and fresh banana slices.

Grab a straw, give everything a little stir, and enjoy!

Tips

Freeze overripe bananas in chunks so you’re always ready to make this latte.
Warm the cookie butter for 10–15 seconds if you want it to swirl easily around the glass.
Banana pudding mix gives the cold foam its classic dessert flavor, but vanilla pudding mix works great too.
Serve immediately for the creamiest texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this dairy-free?

Absolutely! Use your favorite dairy-free milk for the banana milk and substitute your favorite dairy-free heavy cream alternative for the cold foam.

What espresso should I use?

Any espresso you love works here! You can use homemade espresso, Nespresso, or even strong cold brew if that’s what you have on hand.

Does the banana make it chunky?

Not at all. Blending everything until smooth creates a creamy banana milk that mixes beautifully with the espresso.

Can I make the banana milk ahead of time?

Yes! Blend it up and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Give it a quick shake before pouring since natural separation is normal.
