One of my favourite coffee drinks, ever, is the blended and iced Vietnamese Coconut Coffee, or Cà Phê Cốt Dừa. Twice over the years we have hosted Vietnamese students and I have learned much about the food, culture and coffee!

Inspiration

As I’ve always said, inspiration comes from everywhere. But for this coffee it comes from our students, my adoration of Vietnamese food and seeing someone post recently about this coffee during their travels through Vietnam. My mouth instantly started drooling, as it had been awhile.

Vietnamese Iced Coconut Coffee

Here’s what you do if you don’t want to blend the drink into a frappe or slushy.

Pour the sweetened condensed milk and coconut cream into a measuring cup. Add your brewed coffee and stir until combined. Pour this mixture over a glass filled with ice cubes. Sprinkle with toasted coconut if you wish. Insert straw. Enjoy!

Disclaimer

If you don’t like coconut cream or milk, we can’t be friends! I love it, but I get it.

Here’s what you do if you do not like coconut cream or milk. Sure you can substitute milk, but it’s not entirely an authentic coffee! If you really want to try this drink, make the traditional Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk (cà phê sữa đá) with ice. I’ve listed how to make this drink above.
