How to make Blank Street’s Iced Blondie Latte at home for a fraction of the price

The Iced Blondie Latte at Blank Street is a viral, dessert-like seasonal coffee known for its distinct sweet and savoury flavour profile – and one influencer has shared how to make your own version at home for a fraction of the price

The Iced Blondie Latte at Blank Street is a viral, dessert-inspired seasonal coffee celebrated for its distinctive sweet and savoury taste. The beverage is crafted to evoke the flavour of a liquid blondie brownie or rich, salted butter caramel sweet, which explains its widespread popularity. However, at £4-£5 per drink, indulging in it regularly isn’t exactly budget-friendly.

To address this, one influencer has revealed how to recreate your own version at home for considerably less. Charlie Hopper, who has amassed over 27,000 followers on Instagram, is recognised for her home and lifestyle posts. In one of her recent reels, she demonstrated to fans how to prepare the beverage, describing it as “one of the nicest at-home coffees I’ve ever made”.

Charlie explained she crafted the drink using instant coffee, though noted you could substitute a shot from a coffee machine if preferred. “I’m sure it’ll taste the same,” she said.

The social media influencer combined two teaspoons of instant coffee with a teaspoon of brown sugar and some Biscoff spread.

Discussing the latter ingredient, she said: “This is what makes it tastes like the Blank Street one.”

Charlie combined all of those in a mug and stirred it with some hot water until everything was blended and smooth.

She then took another cup and filled it with ice and oat milk, though any cow’s milk would likely work as an alternative.

Charlie said she used Oatly Barista Oat Milk, before pouring in the coffee mixture from earlier containing the Biscoff. She also incorporated some vanilla cold foam into the recipe.

To create this, she used the same mug as before, whisking together a small amount of oat milk with a dash of vanilla syrup.

“Make sure you have a good handheld milk frother, otherwise you won’t get a good whisk,” mentioned Charlie.

The influencer also revealed that many of her followers had suggested swapping oat milk for cream, as it produces an even better froth. “So let me know if you’ve tried that,” she added.

Charlie finished the drink by pouring the vanilla cold foam over the top, concluding: “You’ve got yourself the perfect iced blonde latte with vanilla cold foam.”

The post proved a massive hit with viewers, amassing more than 1,500 likes.

One person exclaimed: “I’m going to have to try.”

While another echoed: “Can wait to try this.”

A third chimed in: “This looks amazing.”

As a fourth who had already had a go added: “Just tried this, wow it’s so good!”
