• 2 tablespoons heavy cream or coconut cream
  
  

• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  
  

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• Whipped cream (optional)

Directions

1. Prepare the Coffee: Brew a cup of espresso or strong coffee and allow it to cool slightly to prevent the ice from melting too quickly.
   
   

2. Blend the Banana Cream: In a blender, combine the ripe banana, milk, heavy cream, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Blend until smooth and creamy.
   
   

3. Assemble the Latte: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled coffee over the ice, then add the banana cream mixture on top. Stir gently to combine.
   
   

4. Optional Garnishes: Top with whipped cream and garnish with banana slices for an extra touch of indulgence.
