Inspired by Vietnamese flavors, this vegan Iced Coconut Coffee features a coconut-flavored slushy with coffee and plant-based condensed milk.
Vietnamese Coconut Coffee
When going through the coffee shop in Vietnam, you'll encounter many variations of Vietnamese Coffee, including this Iced Coconut Coffee.
The classic Vietnamese-styled sweetener is condensed milk, I use coconut condensed milk and coconut milk.
Ingredients
To make the vegan Iced Coconut Coffee, you'll need:
- Coconut condensed milk
- Coconut milk or coconut cream (chilled in the fridge for 1 hour before)
- 125 ml (½ cup) of hot water
- 1 ½ cup ice
Equipment needed
- Vietnamese coffee Phin filter (also called a French drip filter): this is the traditional tool to make Vietnamese coffee. The ground coffee goes through the Phin filter, which sits on top of the heat-resistant glass or cup. The coffee is pressed down with a thin lid. Then pour hot water on top of the Phin filter, then the water slowly drips through into the cup/glass.
Instructions
Make the coffee
Place the coffee Phin filter over a heat-resistant glass. Add 2 tablespoons of ground coffee and spread it out evenly. Place the top plate on the filter and press slightly.
Pour about 2 tablespoons of hot water on top to bloom the coffee and observe how quickly the coffee drips. If it's dripping too quickly, carefully use a spoon to tighten the filter. If it's dripping too slowly, then use the spoon to loosen the filter.
Let the coffee chill, while we make the coconut slush.
Make the coconut slush
To a blender, add the ice, coconut condensed milk and coconut milk.
Assemble the Iced Coconut Coffee
Pour about 3 tablespoons of the coconut slushie into a glass, then pour the coffee on top. Enjoy cold!
