Make a refreshing, coffee-shop style Iced Coconut Mocha at home, complete with a simple homemade vanilla sweet cream cold foam topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or 2 shots espresso
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup or melted dark chocolate
  • Ice cubes
  • For Cold Foam: 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • For Cold Foam: 1 tablespoon milk of choice
  • For Cold Foam: 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
  • For Cold Foam: 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the coconut syrup: Combine water, granulated sugar, and shredded coconut in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in coconut extract, and let it steep for 10 minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract all liquid. Discard solids.
  2. Prepare the mocha base: In a glass, combine 2 tablespoons of the prepared coconut syrup, chocolate syrup, and brewed coffee or espresso. Stir well.
  3. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the coffee mixture over the ice.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of your chosen milk to the glass and stir gently.
  5. Make the cold foam: In a small bowl or jar, combine the heavy cream, 1 tablespoon milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
  6. Whisk vigorously or use a handheld milk frother until the mixture thickens and holds soft peaks. This takes about 1 to 2 minutes of active whisking.
  7. Gently spoon the vanilla sweet cream cold foam over the top of the iced mocha. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you do not have espresso, use very strong cold brew concentrate for the coffee base.
  • For a dairy-free cold foam, substitute the heavy cream with a high-fat canned coconut cream (the thick part from the top of a chilled can) and use non-dairy milk.
  • Adjust the amount of coconut syrup to control the sweetness and coconut intensity.
