I love coffee with cream. I don’t want to drink it black. I want my coffee to have a creamy smoothness. A creamy taste. I only have one cup of coffee per day. In the morning. It’s my indulgence.
But cream doesn’t love me. I have a dairy intolerance so I don’t associate my lovely, creamy coffee with good feelings in my tummy. It was a sad day when I discovered that. I used unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk instead and added some pure vanilla extract, but it just didn’t have that same creamy taste or feel. Then I discovered my intolerance for tree nuts. Scratch almond milk. It was up to the coconuts to come through for me.
Then I decided that it was fat that was missing from my So Delicious coconut milk. I decided to add a teaspoon of coconut oil to my coffee cup, along with the coconut milk. That helped! But it still was leaving something to be desired.
Then one day I was buying full-fat, canned coconut milk to make ice cream and it hit me. THAT’S what I needed to use in my coffee! I opened up a can and continued to add some coconut oil and vanilla. After a little experimentation, I came up with this recipe!
It stores great in a one-pint Mason jar in the frig. At one cup of coffee per day, this lasts me almost two weeks. I love my creamy coffee once again. I hope you will too!
