With the temperature hitting the 90s these days, there’s just no way I’m drinking hot coffee in the mornings. So I decided to make a paleo and vegan version of my favorite iced coffee, and I’ve been absolutely loving it!
This Coconut Milk Thai Iced Coffee is so decadent without a hint of dairy. The key is to make a thick and creamy sweetened condensed milk using coconut milk, which is much easier than you think. All you have to do is simmer the coconut milk and a sweetener until it’s reduced, then add almond extract and cardamom to make it taste truly authentic. It’s seriously the best combination of flavors.
The Key to Tasty Coconut Milk Thai Iced Coffee
To make your coconut milk Thai iced coffee super yummy and not watered down, it’s important to make your coffee super strong. I used my espresso maker to brew my coffee, which turned out perfect. Then you can add plenty of ice to keep it cold and enjoy every sip!
You can even make the coffee and the sweetened condensed coconut milk ahead of time and enjoy it for a few days. Just make sure to whisk the coconut milk before pouring it over the coffee because it can separate as it sits in the refrigerator. It’ll combine well to it’s original creamy form once you shake it up a bit, so mix it up and enjoy the most delicious coffee, perfect to cool down with in the summer!

Oh MAN! I am totally making this for tomorrow! Looks fantastic!
Oh my goodness yum!!! I haven’t had a Thai iced coffee since I was in high school – that was one of my favorites and I forgot about it until now. This looks so good and I love that your version is SO much healthier than the ones I used to have.
Love the flavors that you put in the sweetened condensed milk. i need to try this. This looks delicious and refreshing!
I’ve had thai iced tea but never thai iced coffee. YUM! I’m making this TODAY!!!
I am seriously obsessed with iced coffee at the moment. And with cardamom…heck YES! I’m going to try this with cold brew!
what kind of cardamom did you use
This looks so cool and delicious and such a great way to enjoy coffee in this summer heat!
Wow, the spices i this!! Got to have this Jean!!
OMG cardamom and coffee is like my fave combo! Reminds me of Turkish coffee… soooo giving this a go once the sun comes back out <3
Your recipe for sweetened condensed coconut milk with cardamom is SO appealing!! Can’t wait to make it. Thank you!
I’ve always loved this kind of coffee when travelling through south east Asia but stopped drinking them because of all the sugar, so it’s so nice to try a recipe with healthier ingredients. Perfect for summer!
Looks and sounds delish. I am obsessed with coffee- especially iced and in summer!
I love Thai Iced tea, so a coffee one will be even better! Great idea and I can’t wait to try it!
This is fabulous and perfect for hot summer. I can’t wait to try it soon !
I don’t drink coffee but I like the sound of this – do you have an iced tea version?
Thai iced coffee is my absolute favorite and my (nursing) daughter is intolerant of dairy so I was sooo excited for this recipe but I messed the condensed milk up somehow, it turned greyish and when I took it out of the fridge this morning it was almost solid but I mixed it and gave it a shot and it came out of the jar kind of lumpy and separated once it hit my coffee. I’m going to try a better quality coconut milk and simmer not quite as long, fingers crossed!
Oh no! That’s so weird that it changed colors. Let me know if it happens again and I’ll investigate if something is wrong with the recipe.
It seems like there have been plenty of successes, my bet is user error 😉 I’m trying it again tomorrow after I can get to the store for some more coconut milk!
Just a thought if you are on the keto diet use a different alternative for the maple syrup it is loaded with Carbs and Sugar
This recipe isn’t keto. Maple syrup is a healthier sugar for those people who aren’t trying to be low carb, and there’s only a minimal amount in this recipe.
