How to Make Pink Velvet Macchiato?

Step 1

Take a bowl and add cacao powder, sugar, and beetroot powder. Take a manual whisker and whisk the ingredients well to combine.

Step 2

Add the cream cheese to the bowl with the ingredients and mix it well.

Step 3

Gently pour the milk and keep stirring it. You will see the pink velvet milk foam, whisk it well to remove any lumps. Once done, keep it aside and let it cool.

Step 4

Take a glass and add 3-4 ice cubes. Now pour the pink velvety milk over the ice cubes.

Step 5

Add the espresso shot to the glass with velvety milk. Here I am using 2 shots of espresso. You can also use a strong coffee made from AeroPress if you don’t have an espresso machine at home. Make sure you use a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio if you are preparing a coffee using an AeroPress.

Step 6

Give it a final stir for the ingredients to mix well. Your flavorful macchiato is ready. You can top it with some beetroot powder, a chocolate drizzle, or dry fruits. Pair it with a tiramisu or chocolate cookies to serve at parties.
