Here’s what I think about TikToks latest recipe trend.
Meet the cracking latte: a DIY iced latte surrounded by a hard chocolate shell.
When I saw this trending drink, I knew I had to try it.

Does the chocolate even flavor the iced coffee, or is it just for show?
Heres how to make the cracking latte, and read my honest review below.
I started by adding about a cup of the chocolate chips to a bowl.
This was more than enoughId recommend using 23 to 34 cup if youre trying this at home.
Be sure to not over-stir it, as the chocolate can become seized.
I then evenly coated the inside of the plastic cup with the melted chocolate.
This took about 10 minutes.
Is this technically a latte?
Once closed up with the lid, it was time to test out the cracking part of the name.
I gave my cold drink a squeeze, and to my surprise, it worked.
The more I squeezed the cup, the more the chocolate mixed into the coffee.
The trend worked, but as for the taste, it was very mild.
I mostly just tasted the coffee and milk and not much of the chocolate.
Overall, I was impressed with how easy this trend was.
