Print Recipe

This Strawberry Shortcake Iced Latte is a dreamy blend of fresh strawberries, creamy milk, bold coffee, and a hint of vanilla, finished with whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs. It’s the perfect sweet, refreshing treat for warm days or whenever you need a coffee shop pick-me-up at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (or thawed frozen strawberries)
  • 1–2 teaspoons sugar (optional, to taste)
  • 1/3 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 3/4 cup cold milk (whole, oat, almond, or coconut milk)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
  • Ice (enough to fill a tall glass)
  • 2 tablespoons whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs (for topping)
  • Strawberry slice (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Hull and chop the strawberries. Place them in a blender with sugar (if using) and blend until smooth. Strain if you prefer a smoother texture.
  2. Brew a double shot of espresso or 1/3 cup strong coffee. Let it cool for a few minutes.
  3. Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour the strawberry puree over the ice.
  4. Add the vanilla syrup to the glass.
  5. Pour in the cold milk.
  6. Slowly pour the cooled espresso or coffee over the milk to create layers.
  7. Top with whipped cream, sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs, and garnish with a strawberry slice if desired.
  8. Stir before drinking, or leave layered for a pretty presentation. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

For best results, use ripe, in-season strawberries or high-quality frozen ones. Chill your glass before assembling for an extra-cold drink. Adjust sweetness to taste, and feel free to use plant-based milk and coconut whipped cream for a vegan version. Strawberry puree can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
