If you’re craving a sweet, nutty, and icy coffee treat, you’re gonna love this Vanilla Almond Frozen Latte! It’s crazy easy to make and way cheaper than hitting the coffee shop. Plus, it feels a little fancy — like you made something special just for you. I make these a lot on hot afternoons when I want a little pick-me-up without firing up the espresso machine. Trust me, you’ll be hooked after the first sip!

Why I Love This Recipe

  • Quick & easy – it’s ready in just a few minutes.
  • Nutty & sweet flavor – almond and vanilla together are magic.
  • Kid-friendly version – just use decaf coffee!
  • Saves money – no more $7 coffee shop runs.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Optional: crushed almonds for topping

Tools You’ll Need

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Tall glass or mason jar
  • Straw (optional but more fun!)

Pro Tips

  • Cool your coffee first. Hot coffee will melt the ice too fast and water it down.
  • Use good vanilla. Pure vanilla extract makes a big difference in flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness. Start with less sweetener, then add more if needed.
  • Double it. Make a double batch if you know everyone will want a sip!
  • Top it off. A little crushed almond on top makes it feel extra special.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Use oat milk or regular milk instead of almond milk.
  • Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for a protein-packed version.
  • Try hazelnut extract instead of vanilla for a different flavor twist.
  • Use decaf coffee for a kid-friendly treat!

Make Ahead Tips

  • Brew your coffee the night before and keep it in the fridge so it’s ready to go!

Leftovers and Storage

  • Best when fresh!
  • If you have leftovers, keep them in the fridge for a few hours, but it will melt and lose that frozen texture.
  • You can re-blend it with a few extra ice cubes to freshen it up!

How Many Servings and How Long It Takes

  • Servings: 1 large or 2 small
  • Time: 5 minutes (plus coffee cooling time)

What to Serve With Your Frozen Latte

  • A buttery croissant
  • Almond biscotti
  • A slice of banana bread
  • Fresh berries and yogurt
