Caramel White Russian Coffee
A boozy strong coffee mixed with a proper White Russian, topped with homemade caramel and whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 2 oz Vodka
- 1.5-2 oz Kahlua
- 1/2 cup milk or coconut/almond milk
- 1 cup Strong (double) coffee
- 1/2 cup Heavy whipping cream
- Caramel sauce (see recipe here: https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/caramel-hard-sauce ) or use store bought -- amount up to you:)
- ice*
*This recipe is for an iced coffee drink, but you can easily make the drink in the same way for a hot beverage--just brew the coffee at a normal level and not a “double.”
Instructions
- Brew some coffee (I don’t like to use instant coffee as others do; I just double the coffee I would normally make.) If you have time to refrigerate the black coffee, do, so you don’t have to dilute it in order to cool it off.
- Prepare a White Russian: Combine 2 oz of vodka with 1.5-2 oz of Kahlua, and ½ cup of milk (any percent, or non dairy milk if preferred).
- Once the black coffee is cold, add 1 cup of black coffee to 1 cup of the White Russian and stir.
- Whip ½ cup of heavy cream (no need for sugar unless you like it extra sweet...additionally you can leave out if leaving dairy out and using non dairy milk) and dollop onto the beverage. I like to serve these in mason jars.
- On top, drizzle some caramel sauce onto the whipped cream and voila -- you have a decadent and dangerous iced coffee for the White Russian fans!
Notes
- You can always put the black coffee into the freezer for up to 30 minutes if you want to cool it down quickly.
- You can shake your White Russian in a shaker with ice, but I prefer to pour it into the black coffee with a new fresh set of ice cubes (again, to not dilute too much!)
- As said, this recipe is for an iced coffee drink, but you can easily make the drink in the same way for a hot beverage--just brew the coffee at a normal level and not a “double.”
