Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup ice
  • 1 cup cold brew coffee
  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream the thick layer from the top of a can
  • ½ tablespoon maple syrup adjust to taste
  • Vanilla extract optional
  • Salt just a pinch, optional
  • Cocoa powder optional, for variations

Equipment

  • Tall glass
  • Small jar with lid
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the cold brew coffee over it.
  2. In a small jar, combine the coconut cream and maple syrup.
  3. Froth or shake the jar vigorously until the coconut cream mixture becomes smooth and well-combined.
  4. For an elegant presentation, pour the coconut cream mixture over the back of a spoon onto the cold brew to create beautiful swirls.
  5. Give the drink a gentle stir before enjoying, allowing the coconut cream to partially incorporate for a marbled effect.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute coconut milk for part of the coconut cream. Add a splash of vanilla extract or a tiny pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. For a mocha variation, whisk a teaspoon of cocoa powder into the coconut cream mixture before pouring.
This drink pairs beautifully with coconut macaroons, shortbread cookies, or banana bread. Store any leftover coconut cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
