Serves: 6 popsicles
Ingredients
- 2 cups cold brew coffee
- 1 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1/4 cup vanilla syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of cold brew coffee, 1 cup of milk (or your preferred non-dairy alternative), 1/4 cup of vanilla syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Ensure that all ingredients are chilled for the best results.
- In a mixing bowl or a large measuring cup, combine the cold brew coffee and milk. If you are using a non-dairy alternative, options like almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk work well.
- Add the vanilla syrup to the coffee and milk mixture. This will provide sweetness and enhance the vanilla flavor in your popsicles.
- Next, pour in the vanilla extract. This will deepen the vanilla flavor profile of your popsicles.
- Using a whisk or a spoon, stir the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined. Make sure that the vanilla syrup is fully dissolved and evenly distributed.
- Once the mixture is well combined, carefully pour it into popsicle molds. Leave a small amount of space at the top of each mold to allow for expansion as the popsicles freeze.
- If desired, you can add small chocolate chips or pieces of vanilla bean to the molds before pouring in the mixture for added texture and flavor.
- Insert the popsicle sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered and stand upright. If your molds do not come with sticks, you can use wooden craft sticks.
- Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
- Once the popsicles are fully frozen, remove them from the molds by running warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. This will help loosen them for easy removal.
- Enjoy your homemade Vanilla Cold Brew Coffee Popsicles as a refreshing treat on a warm day!
Tips
- Use high-quality cold brew coffee for the best flavor intensity. If possible, make your own cold brew or use a premium store-bought version.
- For a dairy-free option, experiment with different non-dairy milks like almond, oat, or coconut milk to find your perfect flavor combination.
- To prevent ice crystals, ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and chilled before freezing.
- For extra indulgence, consider adding a drizzle of chocolate sauce or sprinkling crushed coffee beans inside the molds before freezing.
- If you don't have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups or even an ice cube tray with toothpicks as an alternative.
- To make removal easier, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds before pulling out the popsicles.
- These popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to a week in a sealed container or freezer bag.
