❓ 10 FAQs

1. Can I use instant coffee?

Place your topped latte under a broiler for 30–45 seconds, watching closely.

It’s rich but balanced. Adjust the sugar and chocolate to your preference.

7. Can I make this in bulk?

You can — but it’s best as a crumb topping to avoid sogginess.

9. Does this have caffeine?

Yes — unless made with decaf coffee or turned into a hot chocolate variation.

You can mix the milk base ahead and reheat when ready, but always froth and top fresh.
