This luxurious beverage combines the robust flavor of strong brewed coffee with the creamy richness of coconut milk, creating a heavenly blend that soothes the soul.

Whether you’re sipping it under the sun or cozying up at home, each sip is a warm hug in a mug that transports you to sunny shores.

Serves 1

Ingredients

Strong brewed coffee
1 cup
Coconut milk
1/2 cup
Sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons
Vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon
Ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon
Whipped cream
for topping
Shredded coconut
for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brew a strong cup of your favorite coffee and set it aside to allow the flavors to develop.
  2. In a small saucepan, gently heat the coconut milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it is hot but not boiling. Be careful not to let it simmer to preserve its creamy texture.
  3. In a large mug, combine the brewed coffee, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to ensure that the sweetened condensed milk dissolves completely.
  4. Carefully pour the hot coconut milk into the mug with the coffee mixture, stirring continuously to achieve a harmonious blend of flavors.
  5. Top your coconut coffee with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with shredded coconut for an added touch of tropical flair.
  6. Serve hot and savor every sip of this indulgent beverage that brings the essence of the Ivory Coast to your home.

Tips

  • 💡 For a richer flavor, use a dark roast coffee.
  • 💡 You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sweetened condensed milk, or substitute with a non-dairy alternative if desired.
  • 💡 Experiment with flavored syrups or spices like nutmeg for a unique twist.
