Italian Coffee Cream

I think I’m late to the party, but my new obsession is Italian Coffee Cream. Have you tried it? I may never need to get an iced latte at Starbucks ever again! So for this to-do Tuesday, try it out:

• Mix together in a tall cup (16 oz or more):
• 1 Tablespoon instant coffee crystals. I’ve used both caffeinated and decaf and it works with either.
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar. The recipe I found said to use raw sugar if you’re feeling fancy!
    • 1/2 Teaspoon vanilla extract. I don’t see this in all the recipes, but I think it adds a LOT!

Using a milk frother, mix the above ingredients until the mixture forms stiff peaks – like whipped cream. Add a handful of ice cubes and fill the cup the rest of the way with your milk of choice. I use 2% but I hear almond milk is also tasty. Drink with a straw – or you’ll end up with a really thick cream mustache!

If you’re really feeling fancy, you could add whipped cream and sprinkles. Or maybe add in some chocolate sauce. Experiment and personalize for yourself. But I cannot recommend enough – it’s so refreshing on these hot days!
