Ingredients
Coconut Ube Cold Foam
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 ½ tablespoons coconut syrup
- ¼ teaspoon ube extract
Iced Ube Coconut Cream Shaken Espresso
- 2 oz espresso or 5 oz cold brew espresso
- 2 tablespoons coconut syrup
- Ice (as needed)
- ½ cup oat milk or milk of choice
Instructions
- Make the cold foam: In a small glass or jar, combine the heavy cream, coconut syrup, and ube extract. Use a milk frother to froth the mixture until it becomes thick and foamy. Set aside.
- Prepare the shaken espresso: Fill a mason jar with ice, then add the espresso (or cold brew) and 2 tablespoons of coconut syrup. Secure the lid tightly and shake the jar several times until well mixed and chilled.
- Assemble the drink: Pour the shaken iced coffee along with the ice into a tall glass. Add the oat milk or milk of choice and gently stir if desired.
- Top and serve: Spoon the prepared ube coconut cold foam on top of the drink. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, flavorful iced beverage.
Notes
- You can substitute the oat milk with almond milk, soy milk, or any preferred dairy or non-dairy milk.
- If you don’t have ube extract, you can use natural ube flavoring or purple yam powder to get a similar taste and color.
- Use freshly brewed espresso or cold brew concentrate for the best flavor and richness.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of coconut syrup to suit your taste.
- For a dairy-free version, replace heavy cream with coconut cream when making the cold foam.
