Cozy drinks season is back and I have a new vegan latte to share with you. This salted caramel latte is sweetened with dates and uses both cashews and coconut milk for a creamy and frothy drink.
What you need: Coffee, coconut milk (or oat milk), Medjool dates, cashews, vanilla and salt.
How to Make a Vegan Salted Caramel Latte
First, start by preparing your coffee. You can use your preferred method. I personally make it using a French press or I make a long shot espresso using an espresso machine.
Next, add dates, cashews, coconut milk, vanilla, salt and the prepared coffee in a blender. Blend it all until you get a creamy, frothy drink.

Notes on Substitutions
- You can use plain oat milk instead of coconut milk if preferred.
- If you have a weaker blender, you might have cashew and date pieces left in your latte. In this case, you can replace the dates with maple syrup and the cashews with 1-2 tablespoons of cashew butter. You won’t get the same caramel-like flavor, but it still results in a good creamy latte.
- Feel free to add more or less dates to adjust the sweetness. The dates do add a caramel-like flavor. I strongly encourage using Medjool dates for the best results, however, regular dates will work too. Simply add more to taste.
