Because Plain Coffee is Just Sad Hot Bean Water
Let’s face it, friend. Mornings are hard. Your alarm screams. Your brain feels fuzzy. Regular coffee tries, bless its heart, but sometimes you need more. You need adventure. You need a vacation in a glass.
You need coffee that whispers sweet, creamy promises. Enter this drink: cold coffee meets coconut cream and sticky caramel. It’s like a beach party for your taste buds. Your regular mug might get jealous. Let’s make it!
What You Need
- Coffee: 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cold (Use leftover coffee! Or make fresh and cool it fast).
- Coconut Cream: 1/4 cup thick coconut cream (Chill a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight. Scoop the solid cream off the top).
- Caramel Sauce: 2 tablespoons caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling (Store-bought is fine! No judgment here).
- Milk: 1/4 cup milk (Any kind works: dairy, almond, oat).
- Sweetener: 1 teaspoon sugar or simple syrup (Optional. Taste first! Caramel adds sugar).
- Ice: 1 cup ice cubes (Essential for the ‘iced’ part. Don’t skip the ice).
Kitchen Tools
- A tall glass (Show off those pretty layers! – try one of these)
- A small bowl
- A whisk or fork
- A spoon (For stirring and drizzling. Fingers work poorly for drizzling).
Make This Drink
- Mix Cream: Put coconut cream and 1 tablespoon caramel sauce in the small bowl. Whisk them together until smooth. Think fluffy clouds. Delicious, caramel-flavored clouds.
- Fill Glass: Pack your tall glass full of ice cubes. Fill it right to the top. Ice is your friend.
- Pour Coffee: Pour the cold coffee over the ice. Watch the ice crackle happily.
- Add Milk: Pour the milk into the coffee. Watch the pretty swirls happen.
- Add Sweet: Stir in the sugar or syrup now, if you want it. Give everything a quick stir.
- Top It: Spoon the fluffy caramel coconut cream mixture over the top of the coffee. Be generous! Pile it high.
- Drizzle Magic: Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the creamy topping. Make it look fancy. You deserve fancy.
- Serve Fast: Give it one gentle stir if you like swirls, or sip the cream right off the top. Your call. Drink immediately. Melty cream is sad cream.
Serve It
Grab a straw (or don’t, live dangerously). Enjoy this cold, creamy, dreamy coffee treat. Perfect for hot afternoons, tough mornings, or celebrating Tuesday.
Helpful Tips
- Strong Coffee: Use strong coffee. Ice melts and waters down weak coffee. Strong coffee stays tasty.
- Coconut Cream: Chill the can overnight. Use only the thick, solid cream part. Save the watery bit for smoothies.
- Cold Parts: Ensure coffee and milk are cold. Warm ingredients melt the ice too fast.
- No Coconut Cream? Use regular heavy whipping cream. Whip it with caramel sauce. It works, but misses the tropical twist.
