If you’re dreaming of a mini tropical vacation but you’re stuck at home (me too!), this Coconut Iced Coffee Slush is exactly what you need.

It’s cold, creamy, a little sweet, and feels super fancy without being hard to make.

I whip this up all summer long when I want a fun drink that’s way better than anything at a coffee shop — and way cheaper too!

  • It’s naturally sweetened (yay maple syrup!).
  • You can whip it up in 5 minutes — seriously!

What You’ll Need

Pro Tips

  • Use really cold cold brew for the best frosty texture.
  • Shake the coconut milk super well — it separates in the can.
  • Taste before you blend to check the sweetness. Some cold brews are more bitter!
  • Don’t over-blend or it’ll turn watery fast.
  • Serve right away — it melts quickly!

Tools You’ll Need

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small bowl (for toppings)
  • Spoon (for drizzling maple syrup)

Substitutions and Variations

  • Swap maple syrup for honey or agave.
  • Use almond milk instead of coconut milk for a lighter version.
  • Make it mocha: Add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder before blending.
  • Kid version: Use decaf cold brew or a coffee-flavored herbal tea!

Make-Ahead Tips

You can brew your cold brew coffee the night before and chill it so it’s ready to go. You can also toast coconut flakes ahead and store them in an airtight container.

FAQ

Yes, just make sure it’s completely chilled!

Totally. Just add more maple syrup to taste.
