Description

Smooth caramel iced coffee brings summer coolness with rich espresso and silky caramel swirls. Creamy layers of sweet comfort invite coffee enthusiasts to savor each refreshing sip, promising pure indulgence in a chilled glass.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cold brew coffee
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/3 cup whole milk

Flavoring Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons salted caramel syrup
  • Caramel dessert sauce

Topping:

  • Squirt whipped topping

Instructions

  1. Chill a tall glass by filling it completely with crisp, frosty ice cubes to create a cool foundation for the beverage.
  2. Gently cascade cold brew coffee over the ice, allowing it to settle and create a rich, smooth base.
  3. Introduce salted caramel syrup, carefully drizzling it along the inner rim of the glass to distribute flavor evenly.
  4. Stream whole milk into the coffee, using a long spoon to blend the ingredients until they harmonize into a creamy mixture.
  5. Crown the drink with a billowy cloud of whipped topping, creating an elegant and indulgent texture.
  6. Elegantly zigzag caramel dessert sauce across the whipped cream, enhancing both visual appeal and sweetness.
  7. Give a final, gentle stir to integrate all layers, ensuring each sip delivers a perfect balance of coffee, caramel, and cream.

Notes

  • Use cold brew coffee for a smoother, less acidic taste that doesn’t water down quickly when poured over ice.
  • Experiment with different milk alternatives like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version that keeps the creamy texture.
  • Make your own salted caramel syrup at home to control sugar levels and avoid artificial additives in store-bought syrups.
  • Freeze leftover coffee in ice cube trays to prevent dilution and create an extra-strong iced coffee experience.
