Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew is better than the coffee shop and with simple, real ingredients!
What is Starbucks Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew
This hugely popular drink is made with some cold brew coffee (that you can make at home or you can just use premade) and then it is topped with a heavier cream that is sweetened with vanilla and maple syrup (well, at least that is what we like to use)! It is a perfect summer treat!
Why You Will Love This Recipe
- Sweet: sweetened with maple syrup (but you could use a simple syrup if you prefer) you can easily control how sweet this is!
- Cold: nothing beats a slightly sweet coffee drink in the middle of summer!
- Easy: it really is super easy to throw together!
- Dairy-free friendly: we use coconut milk to make this dairy-free, but if you aren’t dairy-free you could use whole milk or a heavy cream.
What You Will Need
- cold brew coffee: we love making our own cold brew, but of course you can use store-bought if you prefer!
- coconut milk: we highly recommend this carton of coconut milk!
- maple syrup: pure maple syrup works perfectly here, but a honey or simple syrup works too.
- vanilla extract: love that light vanilla flavor – add a little extra if you want to intensify that flavor!
How to Make Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew
Make your cold brew coffee (of course you can use store-bought as well).

You can make cold foam with your sweet cream if you want and that can be done with a hand frother, milk frother or even a French press (read more about how to make Sweet Cream Cold Foam here)! Otherwise, you just mix your ingredients together and pour over your cold brew!
Add them together and enjoy!
