Coconut Cream Cold Brew 🥥🧊☕ Smooth, Tropical, and Naturally Sweet With Chilled Coffee Strength
The Coconut Cream Cold Brew is sunshine in a glass — bold cold brew coffee layered under silky, lightly sweetened coconut cream.
It’s refreshing, dairy-free, and just rich enough to feel indulgent without ever drowning out the coffee. Think cold brew meets coconut milkshake — but cleaner, cooler, and built for real flavor.
Ingredients (Serves 1)
Cold Brew Base
- 1 cup cold brew coffee (strong, unsweetened)
- Ice to fill glass
Coconut Cream Topping
- 2 tbsp coconut cream (from a can — not coconut milk beverage)
- 2 tbsp coconut milk or any plant milk
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup or agave (optional)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Batch tip: Whisk ½ cup coconut cream + ½ cup coconut milk + sweetener + vanilla. Chill and shake before using.
Instructions
Step 1: Build the Cold Brew
- Fill a 12–16 oz glass with ice.
- Pour in cold brew, leaving room for cream on top.
Step 2: Make the Coconut Cream
- In a small jar or shaker, combine coconut cream, milk, sweetener, vanilla, and salt.
- Shake hard or whisk until slightly thick and pourable — it should float, not sink.
Step 3: Pour and Serve
- Slowly pour coconut cream over the cold brew for a layered effect.
- Optional: top with toasted coconut flakes or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Stir gently or sip as-is — both work beautifully.
Flavor Variations
- Coconut Mocha Cold Brew – Add chocolate syrup to the cold brew base
- Spiced Island Cold Brew – Add cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg to the cream
- Pineapple Coconut Twist – Add 1 oz pineapple juice for a tropical mocktail vibe
- Coconut Caramel Cold Brew – Swirl in caramel syrup before topping with coconut cream
Beer Twist (Optional)
- Use coconut porter or milk stout in place of part of the cold brew for a brunch cocktail
- Reduce coconut ale with sugar into a beer-coconut caramel drizzle
- Try it float-style: coconut cream cold brew over vanilla ice cream + splash of beer = tropical dessert drink
Pro Tips
- Use full-fat canned coconut cream for the richest flavor and best float
- Chill your glass and cold brew in advance — warm coconut cream melts fast
- Want it thicker? Add 1 tsp of chia seeds or coconut yogurt to the cream mix
Final Thoughts
Coconut Cream Cold Brew is tropical, smooth, and fully satisfying — coffee-forward but mellowed by creamy coconut with a hint of vanilla. It’s the kind of drink that turns any iced coffee moment into a mini vacation.
Sip cold. Float slow. Let the coconut carry you. 🥥🧊☕🌴
