Ingredients
- Candy corn syrup
- 2/3 cup of candy corn
- 2 tbsp of water
- 1 double shot of espresso
- 1 cup of milk
- Whipped cream
- Candy corn for garnish
How to Make It
STEP 1
Start by creating your candy corn syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the candy corn with water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently. Allow the candy corn to completely melt into a smooth syrup within 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool.
STEP 2
While your syrup is cooling, prepare a double shot of espresso. If you have an espresso machine, use it to pull a fresh shot. Alternatively, you can use strong brewed coffee as a substitute.
STEP 3
Next, froth the milk. You can use a steam wand, a frothing machine, or even a simple hand whisk or a jar to froth the milk until it's smooth and creamy.
STEP 4
To assemble your Candy Corn Macchiato, begin by pouring the cooled candy corn syrup into the bottom of a large mug.
STEP 5
Add the frothed milk, filling the cup halfway. Slowly pour the double shot of espresso over the milk, allowing it to mix gently with the syrup and milk, creating a beautifully layered effect.
STEP 6
Top your macchiato with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Drizzle a bit more candy corn syrup over the whipped cream and garnish with a piece of candy corn.
