I always love a fun seasonal twist on a regular latte. And when it comes to the Easter spring holidays, I absolutely adore this Creme Egg Latte recipe. If you love Creme Eggs and iced coffee, this Creme Egg Latte is the ultimate Easter coffee treat. It’s bold coffee meets chocolate indulgence. A Cadbury Creme Egg is melted directly into hot espresso to create a rich, chocolatey coffee base before being topped with cold milk, ice and a fluffy homemade vanilla cream foam. The melted milk chocolate and sweet fondant centre give the coffee an almost mocha-like flavour, while the vanilla cream foam makes every sip extra creamy and indulgent. Best of all, this Creme Egg Iced Latte takes just 5 minutes to make at home – no fancy coffee-shop equipment required.
What Does a Creme Egg Latte Taste Like?
Think of a Creme Egg Latte as an Easter-inspired chocolate latte or mocha. When the Creme Egg melts into freshly brewed espresso, the milk chocolate creates a smooth chocolatey flavour while the sweet fondant centre adds extra richness. Despite being a dessert-style iced coffee, the espresso still gives the drink a bold coffee flavour that helps balance the sweetness. The vanilla cream foam on top makes it even creamier and gives the latte that indulgent coffee-shop finish.
Why You’d Love This Creme Egg Latte Recipe
Creme Egg works wonderfully with coffee. It’s not just the chocolate flavours, but also the caramel sweetness from the Creme Egg’s fondant centre. This creates a silky richness when mixed with a shot or two of espresso. It’s unbelievably easy, and it’s fantastic for making lattes. In this post, I’ve also included the recipe for an easy homemade Vanilla Cream Foam, which complements the Creme Egg Latte perfectly, turning your latte into a cafe-style dessert coffee.

How to Make a Creme Egg Latte with Cream Foam at Home
Ingredients You Need
- Cadbury Creme Egg
- Espresso – single or double shot. See recipe notes for using instant coffee
- Milk – we like using whole milk for the best creamy texture, but you can use other plant-based alternatives as well
- Ice
- Chocolate Syrup (optional) – for an extra chocolatey flavour
Ingredients for the Vanilla Cream Foam topping
- Double Cream
- Whole Milk
- Icing Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
Recipe Notes & Tips for Making Creme Egg Iced Latte
- Make sure your espresso is freshly brewed and hot when adding it to the Creme Egg to fully melt the chocolate.
- If using instant coffee, mix 2 teaspoons of instant coffee with ¼ cup of hot water.
- I personally don’t find it necessary, but if you want an extra-chocolatey richness in the latte, you can add a drizzle of chocolate syrup as well.
- Icing sugar helps to stabilise the cream foam. If you don’t have icing sugar on hand, you can substitute it with regular white sugar.
- Whole milk is best for making the cream foam due to its high fat content. Lower-fat milk tends not to hold the foam well. A plant-based alternative is using barista-version oat milk.
- I’d recommend getting a handheld frother for whisking the cream foam.
- You can pre-make your Vanilla Cream Foam in a batch and store it in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days. The Vanilla Cream Foam goes well with any coffee and even teas.

How to Make Vanilla Cream Foam for Coffee
A simple cream foam topping elevates your coffee instantly. I use a simple vanilla cream foam for this Creme Egg Latte recipe, as the flavours blend well together. To make a vanilla cream foam for coffee, simply whisk together double cream, milk, icing sugar, and vanilla extract. You’re looking for a thick but pourable consistency rather than whipped cream. The foam should sit on top of the iced latte while slowly blending into the coffee as you drink it.
