This cinnamon vanilla dolce iced coffee is made with a slightly sweet (but not too sweet) homemade coffee creamer and coffee made using an iCoffee machine. The coffee creamer and coffee combine to make the most delicious coffee for on-the go, or for enjoying on a warm summers morning.
One week ago today, my husband and I went to go see a late night comedy show. They had added a showing because the 7:30pm showing had sold out in something like 5 minutes. The late night show was scheduled to start at 10:30pm. Want to know what happened last time we went to a late night comedy show? Guesses anyone? If you thought to yourself ‘she fell asleep’ that would be correct! How embarrassing, I know. Two minutes in, I was out cold. I remember nothing, like not a single thing. This time, I was determined not to let that happen, so I knew I wanted some coffee.
But I didn’t want any ‘ole cup of coffee. I wanted something with a little pizzazz.
I love latte’s at coffee shops with a hint of syrup and cream. But I hate when the sweetness of the syrups is overpowering, and frankly, they taste fake. Same thing happens when I buy store bought coffee creamers, they just have an odd flavor to them. I don’t know what it is…could it perhaps be the insanely long shelf life achieved only by crazy additives, perhaps? Whatever the case, I knew I wanted to make my own coffee creamer, like when I made vanilla bean cream coffee creamer. Also, like when I made vanilla bean cream coffee creamer the coffee machine I used was an iCoffee machine. This time though, I used an iCoffee Express.
I love the iCoffee brewing systems because they use the patent pending SpinBrew™ Technology with a spinning needle to spin, steam and stir coffee inside the single serve k-type cup (all competitors use a stationary needle.) SpinBrew creates a rich mini-French Press-like effect to brew coffee with no bitter or acidic aftertaste. Also, coffee is made in a about a minute, it’s super quick and perfect for on the go! The iCoffee machines are sold nationwide at Bed Bath and Beyond®.
And I’m happy to report that I stayed awake and enjoyed the entire comedy show!
To show you how the cinnamon vanilla dolce iced coffee gets made, I made a recipe video to show you how it all works:
Hope you enjoy!

I like to blog about the “moments” in life and this post gave me an “A-Ha” moment! I like flavored coffee creamers in my hot coffee but not in my iced coffee. I use half and half cream for my iced coffee but have missed the wonderful flavors that come in creamers. Thanks to you, I had an “A-Ha” moment. I realized that I can flavor my half and half for my iced coffees! Woo hoo!! Half and half, brown sugar and vanilla bean paste or almond extract have been my experiments so far and they are wonderful 🙂
Sweetphi says

Pretty sure I’m obsessed with those measuring cups… where did you get them?!
Sweetphi says
Thank you so much Heather! They’re little antique measuring cups I picked up at a local antique store.
Christina @ The Beautiful Balance says
I can’t stand the fake sweetness in coffee shop lattes either but love flavored coffee. The fact that you made your own creamer is ahhmazing!
Sweetphi says
Thank you so much for your comment girl, so sorry I’m only seeing it now! I think you’d love making your own creamer, it’s so easy and so delish!

I tried the iCoffee machine before and loved it at a trade show. And now I am staring at my glass of water wishing I had this iced coffee instead.
Sweetphi says
Isn’t the iCoffee machine the best! So sorry I’m only now seeing this comment, it still made my day to see your lovely words 🙂
