Sweet Cream Iced Coffee Recipe

Talk about the easiest recipe of all time – this sweet cream iced coffee recipe is super easy, and super amazing!  If you know me, you know how much I love iced coffee – I mention it on my About page and it’s my known favorite drink.  I mean, it can be -20 outside and I still prefer iced coffee to hot coffee.  

A super amazing sweet cream iced coffee recipe

In the past, I’ve taken plain iced coffee and made a few fun lattes.  Did you know that you can make a latte at home without all of the fancy equipment?  Yup, you just need a mason jar and a microwave.  Get the full details and the how-to in each of my homemade latte posts:

  • Homemade Iced Maple Latte
  • Homemade Iced Salted Honey Latte

The best tasting sweet cream iced coffee

If you’re not a latte fan and would rather add delicious cream to your coffee, this post is for you!  To make your own sweet cream, you only need two ingredients; a pint of half and half and sugar.  If you’d like a little extra flavor, you can add in a splash of vanilla (but this is totally optional!).  And the best part about this recipe is that when you make your own sweet cream at home, it is half the price of the store bought container (literally, it’s a around $1.50 for half and half, and $3.75+ for the same quantity of premade sweet-cream creamer!).  Plus, you  know each and every thing going into it – no mystery ingredients!

The most amazing and easy sweet cream iced coffee

I was telling a friend of mine about this recipe and she told me how much she loved ordering Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew at Starbucks.  She said it sounds a lot like this recipe.

So I whipped up some sweet cream and we enjoyed a coffee.  And, just like that, I accidentally created another Starbucks copycat with this sweet cream iced coffee recipe.  Two of my other favorite copycat recipes are the ever popular pumpkin loaf and also fruit and nut Muesli bread rounds.

Not a fan of sweet cream?  Try my recipe for cinnamon vanilla creamer or vanilla bean creamer to try all of the flavors.  Maybe I’ll just start up a coffee creamer line with all of these fabulous flavors – just kidding, my favorite is this sweet cream iced coffee, that’s for sure!

I love having a mason jar of this sweet cream coffee creamer ready to go in my fridge for my daily iced coffee!

Truth time: I’ve never really *loved* salads.

UNTIL... I created THIS salad!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I could eat this salad every single day!!

It also packs really well for lunches, I just put the salad in one container and toppings in another!

Plus, there’s candied pepitas (pumpkin seeds) and goat cheese and all sorts of awesome toppings and homemade salad dressing 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, I gave it a not so great name so no one was finding it...so I’m re-sharing with an updated timeless name; salad with candied nuts and seeds

Want to hear the horrible thing that happened in m Want to hear the horrible thing that happened in my house this week? 🎻 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First, I ran out of coffee beans 😳😩😢
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then, as I was washing dishes late at night, my French press slipped through my hands and shattered 🙀😭😫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just kept repeating a German phrase my mom used to say “sherben bringen Glück” which means “shards bring luck” (it’s usually applied to like porcelain- which is why plates and mugs are thrown on the ground ahead of weddings... but my mom would apply it to glass/plates/whatever broke) 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So...I’m going to go ahead and make some sweet cream, bust out my old coffee machine until the new French press arrives <-because apparently now I’m someone who makes French press coffee every morning! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m going to drink my coffee and make my meal plan and shopping list for the week ahead (if you need some inspo the latest free meal plan and which has the ability to create a shooting list with the click of a button is live on the blog!
