Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee, chilled
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter version)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener (granulated sugar, maple syrup, or preferred sweetener)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (optional, dairy or plant-based)
Instructions
- In a small bowl or jar, combine 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener.
- Whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly but remains pourable.
- Pour 1 cup chilled cold brew coffee over a glass filled with ice.
- Add 1/4 cup milk if desired to lighten the drink.
- Gently pour or spoon the freshly whipped vanilla sweet cream over the cold brew without stirring immediately.
- Serve immediately and enjoy. Stir gently if a richer, combined flavor is preferred.
Notes
Whisk the sweet cream just before serving for best texture. If made ahead, whisk again before use. Avoid over-whisking to prevent turning cream into butter. Use pure vanilla extract for authentic flavor. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and milk with almond or oat milk. Sweetener can be adjusted to taste.
