If you love coffee and anything tropical, you’re gonna flip for this! This Coffee Coconut Cream Freeze is creamy, icy, and just the right amount of sweet.

I whip this up on hot days when I need a little boost but also want something that feels like a treat.

Tips for Leftovers and Storage

  • It’s best fresh, but if you have extra, pop it in the freezer.
  • When ready to drink again, blend it with a little extra coffee to freshen it up.

Pro Tips

  • Use strong coffee — a regular brew can get too watered down.
  • Chill your coffee before blending so the ice doesn’t melt too fast.
  • Shake your can of coconut cream before opening if it’s separated.
  • If your blender struggles with ice, crush the ice a little first.
  • Taste before serving — you might want a tiny bit more sweetener.

Serving Size and Cooking Time

  • Servings: 2
  • Time: 5 minutes total

What to Serve With It

  • A buttery croissant
  • Tropical fruit salad
  • Toast with almond butter and honey

FAQ

Q: Can I use instant coffee?
A: Yep! Just make it a little stronger than usual.

Q: What if I don’t have coconut cream?
A: Full-fat coconut milk works too, or even heavy whipping cream if you don’t need it dairy-free.

Q: Can I make this ahead?
A: You can brew the coffee ahead, but it’s best to blend fresh when you’re ready to drink.
