Ingredients
- coffee - I'm using cold brew
- whipping cream - heavy whipping cream
- milk - whole, 1 or 2 % or almond milk will work
- caramel - any brand will work
I like using cold brew coffee concentrate for this as it only takes just a little to get the taste one desires.
Adding the coffee
The best part of a recipe like this is it can be adapted to your specifications any way you would like. If you like stronger coffee, add a bit more coffee. If cream is more your thing, add more cream. A little chocolate drizzle could be added with the caramel if desired.
Why the whipping cream
The whipping cream added to the milk adds such a thicker and fuller milk/cream flavor to this iced coffee latte. It cooks on the stove for a bit to get that "frothy" look and to help incorporate the caramel.
To make the milk turn "frothy", cook on medium heat and be sure to keep an eye on it. The milk will need to be stirred almost constantly. It will start to get bubbly. That is what you want. The caramel will be added then and just stirred in for a few minutes.
Whipping cream or Cool Whip
Either whipping cream or Cool Whip can be added to the Iced Caramel Latte but I recommend whipping up some heavy whipping cream and placing it on top of the iced coffee.
The Cool Whip will certainly work, but the whipping cream has a fuller flavor. Don't forget to drizzle caramel on top!
FAQ

- 1 tablespoon caramel topping
- ice cubes
For Topping
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon caramel topping
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, place milk and heavy whipping cream and warm on medium. Keep an eye on it, as you don't want it to burn. Stir often.

- Add caramel topping and stir for another 30 seconds.
- Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, take 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and using hand held mixer, whip until thickened. Disregard if using Cool Whip. Set aside.
- In a glass or mug, add ice cubes until the cup is halfway filled. Pour in coffee concentrate.
- Pour milk mixture over top and stir.
- Place whipped cream on top of the coffee and drizzle caramel on top.
- Serve.
Notes
- Before you add the whipped topping to the glass, taste and see if that is enough coffee flavor for you. If not, add a bit more.
- Cool Whip can be used in place of the whipped topping on top of the latte. Cool Whip CANNOT be in place of the heavy whipping cream mixed in the milk.
