Why You Will Love This Coffee Cream
- Great Consistency - Once the coffee cream has been whipped up, it is so smooth. Mine usually has medium peaks, but you can keep mixing until the cream gets to stiff peaks if you wish. No matter how you choose to serve it, it's so tasty.
- Bold Flavors - If you're a big fan a coffee treats, you're going to adore this cream recipe. It's quite strong, so lovers of my vegan chocotorta and my eggless coffee cake are also likely to enjoy this dessert too.
- The Simplicity - This coffee cream also makes the perfect quick snack. When you don't have much time on your hands, you'll often require an element of simplicity in a recipe. This pudding is just that.
- Allergy Friendly & Plant Based - This coffee cream recipe is entirely vegan, gluten free and dairy free.
Ingredient Notes
- Granulated Sugar - This gives the coffee cream its sweetness. It counterbalances against the bitterness of the coffee. You can also use brown sugar if you'd like a stronger taste of molasses like the flavors you'd find in the likes of my vegan mocha cake and vegan twix cookies.
- Instant Coffee Granules - Use any quality of instant coffee that you like. I don't usually go for a fancy option. Regular instant coffee granules will do the job nicely!
- Almond Milk - A fairly neutrally-flavored plant milk which compliments the other ingredients nicely.

Substitutions & Variations
- Although I recommend sticking with the almond milk, you can also use other kinds of plant milks for this recipe, as long as it's neutral-tasting. I've also used soy milk in the past with success. Replace the recommended the almond milk, 1:1 and follow the same steps.
- Although, I only added coffee to flavor this cream recipe, you can add anything that you like. Perhaps you like chopped nuts? Sprinkle them onto the top of your dessert like I did in my vegan almond chocolate cake recipe. I made it optional to sprinkle on some cocoa powder.
