This homemade vegan iced coffee is creamy and smooth, ice cold and refreshing and will seriously please your tastebuds. Just 3 ingredients.
This vegan iced coffee is so good and it’s perfect for hot summer weather. Though I must say it’s so delicious I would happily drink this in winter too.
I’ve been having one every day and can’t see any reason to stop!
If you’ve ever wondered what to do with vegan condensed milk (whether you buy it ready-made or make it yourself) then this answers that question for you very nicely.
Daily vegan iced coffees is the answer my friends!
And as long as you have some ice on hand (lots of ice, preferably), and some instant espresso powder, you’ll soon be sipping on a super delicious iced coffee. And making it takes all of 2 minutes.
How To Make Vegan Iced Coffee
You will find full instructions and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.
Add instant espresso powder to a jug and pour boiling water from the kettle up to the one cup line.
Add vegan condensed milk and mix it in.
Fill up a glass with ice and pour the hot coffee mix over the ice.
As soon as you finish pouring, add a straw and enjoy!
The ice cools it immediately and you have a perfect iced coffee instantly.
The more ice the better. And you can always add a bit more ice too once you’ve poured your hot coffee in, so that what melts gets replaced and your drink is super cold.
Ingredient Notes
Instant espresso powder. If you prefer strong coffee then add more instant espresso powder. Or use any instant coffee powder that you like.
Vegan condensed milk. You can make your own vegan condensed milk in a blender in minutes, or you can use any store-bought vegan condensed milk such as condensed coconut milk or condensed oat milk.
I have quite the sweet tooth so 3 tablespoons of vegan condensed milk was the right amount for me, but you don’t have to go taste testing while it’s hot, you can always add more later.

Notes
- If you usually like your coffee strong, you may want to use more instant espresso powder. The amount used here is for a fairly mild coffee.
- The amount of vegan condensed milk used should be in line with how sweet you generally like your drinks, if you don’t generally like sweet drinks, then start off with less, you can always add more later if it needs more sweetening.
- You can either make your own vegan condensed milk, using our extremely easy recipe for almost instant condensed milk (made in a blender, no standing over a hot stove required) and then keep a batch of it in the fridge to make iced coffees over a few days, or buy readymade vegan condensed milk.
Can you use instant coffee powder instead of espresso coffee powder??? also can you use sugar instead of vegan condensed milk?
Instant coffee would be fine, but the vegan condensed milk is not just for sweetness it’s also for the ‘milk’.
I quit coffee completely when I became vegan, because I can’t drink it black – it’s just too bitter for me – and I haven’t been able to find an acceptable substitute for cream. This fit the bill perfectly for me! I can enjoy a nice coffee again once in awhile… Thanks so much! This is awesome.
I’m so happy to hear that Vicky! Thanks so much for the awesome review. 🙂
