A smooth and velvety vanilla sweet cream layered over bold nitro cold brew coffee, creating a refreshing and indulgent coffee treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) nitro cold brew coffee, chilled
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk or almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or honey/maple syrup)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cold Brew Coffee (if making homemade): Combine 1 cup (100 g) coarsely ground coffee beans with 4 cups (960 ml) cold filtered water in a large jar or cold brew maker. Stir gently, cover, and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Chill thoroughly before use.
  2. Make the Vanilla Sweet Cream: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk, 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt if using.
  3. Whip the Cream Mixture: Using an electric mixer or blender, whip the mixture on medium-high speed for about 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens slightly and becomes silky smooth. It should have a creamy, pourable consistency.
  4. Assemble Your Drink: Fill a tall glass with 1 cup (240 ml) chilled nitro cold brew coffee. Slowly pour or spoon the vanilla sweet cream over the top, allowing it to float and create a layered look.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve with a straw or spoon for stirring. The cream will mingle with the cold brew as you sip.

Notes

Use cold ingredients for best whipping results. Do not overwhip the cream; it should be silky and pourable, not stiff. Chill the glass before serving for a colder drink. The vanilla sweet cream can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Adjust sugar to taste. For vegan version, substitute dairy with full-fat coconut milk or cashew cream and use maple syrup instead of sugar.
