1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk Shop
2 tbsp hazelnut butter Shop
1 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop
1-2 tbsp maple syrup or your preferred sweetener (optional) Shop
1 cup ice cubes
1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional, for mocha variation) Shop

Instructions

1 Ensure your strong brewed coffee is completely chilled before beginning. Add the chilled coffee, almond milk (or coconut milk), hazelnut butter, pure vanilla extract, and optional cocoa powder to a high-speed blender. This combination forms the base of our rich, nutty beverage.
2 Add the ice cubes to the blender. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup now; you can adjust this later. Secure the lid tightly on the blender.
3 Blend on high speed for approximately 60 to 90 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and has a creamy, frothy consistency. Listen for the blender to achieve a consistent hum, indicating all ingredients are well incorporated and the ice has been fully pulverized.
4 Carefully taste the hazelnut coffee. If you desire more sweetness, add the remaining tablespoon of maple syrup and blend for another 10-15 seconds to incorporate. Adjust to your personal preference for sweetness.
5 Pour the blended hazelnut coffee into two serving glasses. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and temperature. For an extra touch, you can garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a drizzle of hazelnut butter.

Tips & Notes

Stir the hazelnut butter well in the jar before measuring. The oil separates, and the thick solids at the bottom are hard to blend.
Choose hazelnut butter labeled gluten-free, and for the mocha version use plain unsweetened cocoa powder rather than a drink mix.
Brew the coffee the night before so it is fully chilled, as step 1 asks. Warm coffee melts the ice and leaves the drink thin.
