Description
A refreshing and indulgent Pistachio Cream Cold Brew, combining rich cold brew coffee with a luscious, frothy pistachio-flavored cream topping. Perfect for a cool, nutty coffee treat any time of day.
Ingredients
Cold Brew Coffee
- 2 cups cold brew coffee (store-bought or homemade)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Pistachio Cream
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp milk (whole or any preferred kind)
- 1 tbsp pistachio syrup (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tbsp crushed pistachios (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Pistachio Cream: In a small cup, combine ¼ cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon pistachio syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon sugar or sweetener. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Froth the Pistachio Cream: Using a milk frother, blend the mixture until it develops a thick, foamy texture, about 20 to 30 seconds. This airy cream will sit beautifully on top of the cold brew coffee.
- Fill the Glass with Cold Brew: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to keep the drink refreshingly cold. Pour in 2 cups of cold brew coffee slowly over the ice.
- Top with Pistachio Cream: Gently pour the frothy pistachio cream over the cold brew coffee, allowing it to float on top and create a layered effect.
- Garnish & Enjoy: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon crushed pistachios on top for added texture and a nutty crunch. Stir before sipping for an even flavor blend or enjoy layered.
Notes
- Cold brew coffee can be prepared ahead of time or purchased pre-made to save time.
- Pistachio syrup can be replaced with homemade syrup made by combining pistachio paste with simple syrup.
- This recipe can be adjusted for sweetness by altering sugar or syrup quantities.
- Use any type of milk preferred, including plant-based options for a dairy-free twist.
- For a lower fat option, substitute heavy cream with a lighter cream or omit completely and just froth milk.
- Garnish with crushed pistachios to add crunch and enhance pistachio flavor.
