Switch up your morning cup of coffee with this Coconut Milk Coffee that is made with 3 main ingredients.
Optionally drizzle over this 2 ingredient homemade coconut syrup which is a bit like the vegan version of condensed milk!

This coconut milk latte is about to become your next coffee obsession! It is super creamy, indulgent and has a gorgeous coffee flavour.
I've been brewing up this Iced Coffee with Ice Cream and Starbucks Pistachio Latte non stop but wanted to try out a plant based version! I went with coconut milk as I adore coconut flavors but honestly, you could substitute in any non-dairy milk!
I make mine super quickly using instant coffee but it is just as quick using brewed coffee if that is what you prefer.
There are so many delicious ways to enjoy coconut coffee! I've given you the option of iced vs hot, frothy vs no froth, and different coffee types!Â

Coconut Milk Coffee Ingredients
​Coffee
Either use instant coffee
Or prepare an espresso using coffee beans or ground coffee - use a french press or coffee machine
Or prepare cold brew coffee
Sugar - I've gone with white sugar, but you can use brown sugar or coconut sugar
Coconut milk
You can use canned coconut milk, coconut cream or coconut milk from a carton. The type of coconut milk you use depends on what consistency you want. For a thicker consistency, full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream is best due to its higher fat content. You will need to thin out the coffee if using only coconut cream with water or coconut water.
If you don't want to use coconut milk, use soy milk, oat milk or almond milk
Ice cubes - optional. To get the coffee cold and creamy, you could also use coffee ice cream
Vanilla extract goes wonderfully if you go for a hot coffee.
How to make Iced Coconut Milk Coffee
1. Prepare coffee of choice
2. Pour over chilled coconut milk and ice cubes
3. Drizzle over extra coconut syrup if you wish






How to make warm Coconut Latte
To make this delicious latte hot, warm the coconut milk in a saucepan or microwave before pouring over the prepared coffee.
Different ways to froth coffee
- If using instant coffee, you can froth the instant coffee granules with sugar and warm water using a handheld frother directly into your serving glass. Then, simply pour in coconut milk - either warm or chilled with extra ice. See this version in the video in the recipe card.
- If using a brewed coffee from a espresso machine, cafetiere, or moka pot, you can froth the coconut milk. Either use a milk frother or a mason jar.
- To froth the coconut milk in a jar, simply pour the milk into the jar and seal tightly shut. Shake vigorously for 1 minute. You could then microwave the coconut milk until it is hot or enjoy it cold. Pour over the espresso.
Storage
Store any leftover coffee as soon as possible in the fridge and drink up by the next day. It may separate but a quick stir should sort that.
