What is a pecan pie latte?

Can I make a pecan pie latte dairy-free?
Yes, it is easy to make a dairy-free pecan pie latte! Simply opt for your favorite plant-based milk and whipped cream. If you want to make homemade dairy-free whipped cream, follow this simple recipe:
Place a can of coconut cream, NOT coconut milk, in the coldest part of the refrigerator and leave it to chill overnight. Remove the can from the refrigerator after the can has chilled for at least 12 hours. Be careful not to shake it as you take it out. Carefully open up the can and scoop out the creamy part. Place the thick, creamy coconut into a bowl and leave the watery part in the can. Use a hand-electric or stand mixer to whip the solid, cold coconut cream until it resembles a nice, thick whipped cream. If the consistency is thick, like cream cheese, add a tiny bit of the water from the can and whip it some more. For fun, stir in a bit of vanilla and powdered sugar (to taste). Then, place a dollop on your pecan pie latte.
What pairs well with a pecan pie latte?
A pecan pie latte is delicious when made with Extra Dark Italian or French Roast coffee. Both of these coffees offer a rich flavor that pairs well with the nutty pecans, maple, vanilla, and whipped cream. The Extra Dark Italian is designed for dark coffee lovers who enjoy an intense brew with a smoky finish. The French Roast is one of the most popular coffees that features full-bodied flavor with a smoky finish. To enhance the experience, consider pairing the beverage with coffee sugar cookies.
