Enjoy a delicious vegan s’mores latte with all the flavors of your favorite campfire treat! Made with dark chocolate syrup, graham cracker-infused milk, and frothy sweet marshmallow foam. It’ll be the coziest, most decadent drink you’ll ever make. So, pair this with your favorite s'mores cookie, and you'll be all set for the summer!
When you’re looking at this vegan s'mores latte, you’re probably thinking how sweet this drink is. Well, lucky for you I’m not one who likes overly sugary drinks and this isn’t one of them. My teeth hurt just thinking about it! Generally, I don’t add sugar to my morning coffee.
Most of the sweetness comes from the marshmallow foam, and even then, you’re only using a few mini marshmallows to get the flavor. The whole drink is very comforting. Basically like an adult hot chocolate made with coffee. It’s my newest favorite coffee treat, and hopefully soon to be yours too!
✨Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Who wouldn't want to drink that tastes like a delicious s'more?
- Save your money and a trip to the coffee shop by making this drink at home!
- The added marshmallow froth elevates this drink because it makes it sweet and creamy!
✏️Ingredient Notes
- Vegan-friendly graham crackers – Most graham crackers are not vegan friendly, most add honey. My favorite brand to use is Nabisco Graham Crackers.
- Vegan marshmallows – Like the graham crackers, marshmallows are not vegan. They contain egg whites and gelatin. So, my favorite vegan brand of marshmallows is Dandies.
- Dark Chocolate Syrup – I prefer using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet because it helps balance the sweetness and flavor of this latte, my favorite brand is Torani.
- Dairy-free milk – My favorite milk to use is oatmilk, it’s neutral in flavor and froths well.

🍴How to Make Vegan S'mores Latte
Step 1: Crush up the graham cracker sheet into the milk. Stir it up and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. While you wait, pull your double espresso shots.
Step 2: Then, pour in 1 tablespoon of dark chocolate syrup in your favorite glass.
Step 3: Next, add in your hot espresso and stir it all together.
Step 4: Pour the graham cracker milk mixture into a fine mesh strainer, and press down on the graham cracker solids with a spatula or spoon to strain the liquid part of the mixture into a measuring cup.
Step 5: Then, add your ice to the cup and pour the milk over top.
Step 6: Add the mini marshmallows and ¼ cup of milk in a small microwavable safe bowl or cup. Heat them up together for about 30 seconds or until the marshmallows are soft and melty. With a hand frother, thoroughly combine the milk and marshmallows together.
Step 7: After that, pour the marshmallow froth over the milk.
Step 8: Lastly, top it off with graham cracker crumbs and a toasted marshmallow!
⭐Expert Tips
- Heat up the vegan mini marshmallows with the milk so it softens and can easily be frothed.
- Can't find vegan mini marshmallows? Cut up regular marshmallows!
- Find the best dairy-free milk that froths to get better results. I like using Oatly!
💭Common Questions
I find that the regular Oatly brand of oat milk (not the barista edition) is by far the best at frothing. Other types of non-dairy milk such as soy, almond, or coconut milk will froth initially, however, the foam will not hold up as long.
Yes, if you can find sugar-free graham crackers and dark chocolate syrup, I don’t see why you couldn’t make it sugar-free. All you would need to omit is the mini marshmallows.
Yes! Just omit the ice and steam/heat up your graham cracker-infused milk before adding it to the coffee base.
So, the marshmallows you typically see in grocery stores contain gelatin, which is processed collagen extracted from the bones, skin, and tendons of animals. Most graham crackers have added honey, another animal product that vegans do not consume. Fortunately, there are vegan alternatives for both of these products! My favorite vegan brand of marshmallows is Dandies and my favorite brand of graham crackers is Nabisco. So, always be sure to check the ingredients just to be safe!
