Toasted Pecan Mocha Iced Coffee

Toasted Pecan Mocha Iced Coffee

This Toasted Pecan Mocha Iced Coffee combines the nutty warmth of toasted pecans, the rich chocolatey goodness of mocha, and the refreshing chill of iced coffee for the perfect summer treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Freshly brewed coffee (medium or dark roast, or cold brew)
  • Toasted pecans
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • Sweetener of choice (maple syrup, brown sugar, or pecan-flavored syrup)
  • Milk or cream (whole milk, half-and-half, almond milk, or oat milk)
  • Ice
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • Chopped pecans (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Toast the pecans: Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add your pecans. Stir frequently for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and slightly browned.
  2. Make the pecan mocha base: Once the pecans have cooled, blend them with cocoa powder, your sweetener of choice, and a splash of milk or cream until smooth and creamy.
  3. Brew your coffee: Brew a fresh pot of coffee and let it cool slightly, or use cold brew.
  4. Assemble the drink: Fill a glass with ice. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the pecan mocha base, then pour the coffee over it. Top with milk or cream and stir gently to combine.
  5. Garnish: Add whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped pecans on top, if desired.

Notes

Toast the pecans for enhanced flavor. Adjust sweetness to taste. Prepare the pecan mocha base in advance and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
