    The Best Dairy-Free Cold Coffee With Nice Cream

    Published: Jun 17, 2022 by Chef Tripti · This post may contain affiliate links

    If like me, you feel underwhelmed with the iced coffee/iced latte sold in coffee shops, then I can help you. So many names: Frappuccino, iced latte, cold coffee, a cold beverage with coffee and milk. I have tried these from different coffee shops and always felt unsatisfied, perhaps because I know how a real iced coffee tastes. While training as a chef in premium hotels in India, I learned how to make perfect cold coffee. When you have tasted the best, you can't compromise. What's my secret? It's coffee ice cream! The coffee ice cream is what makes the cold coffee so creamy. This cold coffee recipe is perfect for the summer months when you want your dose of caffeine but also want something to cool you down.

    My cold coffee recipe is vegan friendly, using dairy-free milk and ice cream. My coffee ice cream is easy to make, and the only challenge is having to wait eight hours for it to freeze before eating it! Please head on over to my dairy-free coffee ice cream recipe.

    How-To Video

    Here is a video guide to making dairy-free cold coffee recipe.

    Substitutions

    You can substitute dairy-free milk and nice cream with dairy milk and ice cream if you are not dairy-free.

    You can substitute instant coffee with the coffee of your choice; make sure that you don't add too much water.

    Variations

    This cold coffee recipe is for people who like a strong coffee drink; however, you can use vanilla ice cream/nice cream if you prefer. We use ice cream to achieve a thick, creamy cold coffee versus the watered-down one that is generally available in cafes.

    Storage

    You can store cold coffee without the second scoop of nice cream in the refrigerator for up to three days. Please keep it in an airtight container so it doesn't absorb the smell from other things in the fridge.

    You can also freeze the ready-made cold coffee for a week. When ready to use, defrost slightly before blending again.

    Top tip

    I find that whole plant-based milk works better for this cold coffee recipe. Dairy-free milk like coconut, rice and almond do not have that thickness and will result in a diluted coffee. Oat whole milk and soya work best in my experience.

    Food Safety

    In a professional kitchen, food hygiene and safety are top priorities, and from the beginning of my training, I practised good habits and routines. Of course, practising good food hygiene and safety at home is also essential. Here are some fundamental practices to adopt in the kitchen.

    • Wash your hands regularly while preparing, handling and cooking food.
    • Wipe down countertops and high-contact points regularly.
    • If you cook meat and fish, do not use the same utensils on cooked food that previously touched raw meat. Use separate chopping boards for meat and fish. Wash your chopping boards immediately after use.
    • Thoroughly cook food to a minimum temperature of 165 °F (74 °C).
    • Don't leave food at room temperature for extended periods (more than 2 hours).
    • Store food correctly.

    For more details regarding food hygiene and safety in the home, visit the UK Government's Food Standards Agency webpage.

      It's hot here in the UK at the moment and this cools me down nicely.

      I had it in the evening a couple of times so omitted the ground coffee on those occasions to reduce the caffeine. Still tasted delicious with just the coffee ice cream and non-dairy milk.
