I love how it combines lush avocado texture with the boldness of coffee. The coconut milk adds richness, and the vanilla brings a sweet, aromatic touch. It’s nourishing, refreshing, and energizing—perfect for a creative, upscale twist on a classic iced coffee.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
180 g Simplot Harvest Fresh Avocados, Avocado Pulp, Frozen
-
120 g full-fat coconut milk
-
¼ tsp vanilla essence
-
Sweetener, to taste (optional)
-
235 ml strong brewed coffee, cooled
-
Ice, as needed
-
Whipping cream, as garnish
Directions
-
I thaw the avocado pulp following the package instructions.
-
I blend the avocado, coconut milk, vanilla, sweetener (if using), and cooled coffee until wonderfully smooth.
-
I fill glasses with ice, pour the blended mixture over top, then add a dollop of whipped cream as garnish if I’m in the mood for indulgence.
Servings And Timing
This recipe makes about 2 servings and takes around 5–10 minutes to prepare, depending on how long thawing takes.
Variations
I might switch it up by:
-
Using almond, oat, or cashew milk in place of coconut milk for a different flavor profile.
-
Adding a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder on top.
-
Swapping the sweetener for honey, agave, or flavored syrups.
-
Turning it into a creamy warm latte by skipping the ice and heating the mixture.
Storage/Reheating
I’d recommend consuming this avocado latte fresh—for optimal flavor and texture, drink it immediately. If needed, I can store the blended mixture in the fridge for up to 24 hours, though the texture may separate. Re-blending before serving helps restore creaminess. Reheating isn’t ideal, as the avocado may change texture and the coffee could taste stale.
FAQs
1. What if I don’t have frozen avocado pulp—can I use fresh avocado?
Yes, I can use ripe fresh avocado. I’d scoop out pulp, weigh about 180 g, and proceed with the recipe.
2. Can I make this drink caffeine-free?
Absolutely. I can substitute decaffeinated coffee or even cold brew decaf—this way I still get the coffee flavor without the caffeine.
3. How sweet should I make it?
I adjust sweetness to taste. Starting with a teaspoon of sweetener is safe; I taste and add more if needed.
4. Is this suitable for a vegan diet?
Yes—if I use dairy-free whipping cream or skip the garnish, the recipe is fully vegan-friendly.
5. Can I make this in advance for a gathering?
I’d prepare the avocado blend in advance and store it chilled. Just before serving, I re-blend and pour over ice—with optional whipped cream added per the guest’s preference.
Conclusion
I hope my article captures the essence of this Avocado Latte—creamy, refreshing, and full of flavor. It’s a delightful twist on coffee that I’m excited to bring into my kitchen.
