Creamy Blended Cold Brew
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- ½ cup cold brew
- ¼ cup coconut cream (can add 1/4 cup more if you want it thicker!)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder or vanilla collagen (optional)
Instructions
- Blend all of the ingredients together and enjoy!
I have to say, I was extremely excited for this easy recipe but while the flavor was good the texture came out awful. The fats in the coconut cream congealed and curdled on top the cold coffee leading to a very unpleasant texture. Sorry. 😢
Unfortunately that has to do with the coconut cream, not the recipe! There are some chunky batches out there which can cause this. Neither of our faults but sorry to hear you got a bad batch! It should be super creamy, not as you described.
Is there a coconut cream brand that you recommend?
I have good luck with the 365 Brand from Whole Foods!
Regarding the Coconut Cream separating –
I’ve used several brands of Coconut Cream, including Whole Foods 365 and Sprouts, and they all separate. You must shake the can of Coconut Cream vigorously and for at least 30 seconds before you open it (be sure to get the unsweetened). Also, make the mixture first and before you pour it over ice, blend it real well with a whisk or mini immersion blender like this one. https://www.amazon.com/Bonsenkitchen-Powerful-Handheld-Stainless-Wand-Black/dp/B076F3C4XP/ref=asc_df_B076F3C4XP/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693383278741&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9283431950404400077&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031594&hvtargid=pla-411447529862&psc=1&mcid=68255ca9be9f363fbe36f93608b026c7&gad_source=1.
One last recommendation is to only use ½ tsp. vanilla.
Good tips! I have never had to shake the coconut cream first but I will say yes of course, definitely make everything before pouring it over the ice!
