These creamy Vietnamese-style coconut cold brew popsicles combine bold cold brew coffee with rich coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk for a refreshing, tropical frozen treat perfect for warm weather.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee, strong and smooth
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk, well-shaken
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons sugar, honey, or preferred sweetener
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder for extra coffee kick

Instructions

  1. Prepare your cold brew coffee if making your own by steeping coarse coffee grounds in cold water for 12-24 hours, then strain. Otherwise, measure out 1 cup (240 ml) of ready-made cold brew coffee. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut milk with 3 tablespoons (45 ml) sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Add alternative sweeteners here if using.
  3. Pour the cold brew coffee into the coconut mixture. Stir in 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. Add 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder if desired. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or coffee strength as needed, keeping in mind freezing dulls sweetness slightly.
  5. Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving space at the top for expansion. Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
  6. Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight for best results.
  7. To unmold, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds and gently pull out the popsicles. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use full-fat canned coconut milk for best creaminess; avoid thin carton coconut milk. Whisk thoroughly to avoid separation. Freeze for at least 6 hours for best texture. Warm water helps unmold popsicles easily. Sweeten slightly more than desired as freezing dulls sweetness. Can substitute sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk or maple syrup for vegan option. Optional espresso powder adds extra coffee kick.
