Ingredients You’ll Need
Don’t be fooled by the elegance — you only need a handful of approachable, pantry staples to pull off this Maple Pecan Pie Latte (Cold Coffee Drink). Each ingredient plays a star role, building flavor and texture, so don’t skip the details below!
- Folgers® Classic Roast, brewed & refrigerated: The foundation for that bold, smooth coffee flavor; brewing it ahead ensures it’s perfectly chilled for the recipe.
- Dairy-free milk of choice, frozen: Freezing your milk cubes is the secret to a thick, icy, blended latte without watering it down.
- Cashew butter: Adds dreamy creaminess and delicate, nutty undertones that give the drink its pie-like richness.
- Maple syrup: Real maple syrup is key for deep, natural sweetness and that unmistakable pie flavor.
- Pecan halves: Blending in actual pecans brings a toasty, buttery note and amps up the pie character.
- Silk® Almond Coffee Creamer: This infuses an extra layer of smoothness and subtle almond flavor — plus it ties everything together.
- Cinnamon for topping (optional): A sprinkle on top adds just the right touch of warmth and café flair.
How to Make Maple Pecan Pie Latte (Cold Coffee Drink)
Step 1: Brew, Chill, and Prep Your Base
The magic actually starts the night before. Brew your Folgers® Classic Roast, let it cool, then pop it in the fridge to chill completely. Meanwhile, pour your favorite dairy-free milk into an ice cube tray and freeze overnight. This prep ensures your Maple Pecan Pie Latte (Cold Coffee Drink) is icy and perfectly blended — no melting, no watery mess.
Step 2: Blend the Maple Pecan Mixture
When latte time arrives, reach for your blender. Add in the cashew butter, real maple syrup, and pecan halves first. Give these a quick blend to create a smooth, nutty paste — you’re laying the groundwork for that dreamy pie flavor right here.
Step 3: Add Chilled Coffee, Creamer, and Frozen Milk Cubes
Now it’s time to pour in the cold, bold coffee and the Silk® Almond Coffee Creamer, followed by your frozen milk cubes. Blend everything on high until silky and frothy. The frozen milk will create a luscious, frappe-like sip, while the coffee and creamer round everything out with a perfect balance of richness.
Step 4: Pour and Top with Cinnamon
Pour your Maple Pecan Pie Latte (Cold Coffee Drink) into your favorite glass. If you love that coffee shop look and extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top. Add a few extra pecan halves as a garnish for a pretty (and tasty!) finish, then grab a straw and get sipping.
How to Serve Maple Pecan Pie Latte (Cold Coffee Drink)
Garnishes
Don’t skip the finishing touches! A dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg instantly makes your drink feel crafted and special. Adding a couple of toasted pecans or even a swirl of coconut whipped cream turns your Maple Pecan Pie Latte (Cold Coffee Drink) into pure café-style indulgence at home.
Side Dishes
This coffee drink is delicious all by itself, but why not turn your coffee break into a full-on treat? Serve it alongside cinnamon rolls, biscotti, or oatmeal cookies, and you’ll have a dreamy brunch spread or afternoon snack that feels both comforting and luxurious.
Creative Ways to Present
For gatherings, try serving your Maple Pecan Pie Latte (Cold Coffee Drink) in elegant coupe glasses or mason jars with paper straws for a rustic vibe. Freeze extra coffee as cubes to use instead of plain ice so every sip stays bold and never gets watery — your guests will be wowed by your attention to detail!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you’ve made a big batch, keep any leftovers covered in the fridge for up to two days. Give the latte a good stir or quick blend before re-serving, as the pecan butter and maple syrup can settle at the bottom.
Freezing
You can actually freeze the blended Maple Pecan Pie Latte (Cold Coffee Drink) in portioned containers or even as popsicles! When the mood strikes, let a portion thaw in the fridge until it hits that just-creamy stage or enjoy as a frozen treat on hot days.
Reheating
Prefer your latte warm for a change? Simply heat leftover blended coffee gently on the stovetop or in a microwave-safe mug until just warm, not boiling. The dreamy pecan-maple flavors are just as cozy served hot!
FAQs
Can I use regular dairy milk or creamer?
Absolutely! This recipe is super flexible. Feel free to swap in your favorite dairy milk or creamer — it will still yield a delightful Maple Pecan Pie Latte (Cold Coffee Drink) with a slightly different texture and richness.
What’s the best way to blend the pecans until smooth?
Start by blending the cashew butter, maple syrup, and pecans together before adding the liquids. If your blender struggles with whole pecans, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes beforehand or chop them roughly to help them purée more easily.
Can I use hot coffee instead of chilled?
Chilled coffee keeps the drink frosty and thick, but if you’re craving an iced latte immediately, you can use fresh hot coffee — just add extra frozen milk cubes and a few ice cubes to cool it down quickly.
Is this Maple Pecan Pie Latte (Cold Coffee Drink) caffeinated?
Yes, since it’s made with real brewed coffee, it packs a gentle caffeine punch perfect for perking up your mornings or sidestepping that afternoon slump. If you want it decaf, simply use your favorite decaf blend.
Can I make this latte nut-free?
Definitely! For a nut-free version, skip the pecans and cashew butter and use sunflower butter and oat milk. You’ll miss a bit of that classic pecan pie flavor, but the maple-cinnamon comfort is still totally crave-worthy.
Final Thoughts
I can’t recommend this Maple Pecan Pie Latte (Cold Coffee Drink) enough — it’s a sippable hug that combines all the best flavors of pie and coffee in every frosty gulp. Don’t be surprised if it becomes your new signature treat to share with friends or just savor solo. Give it a whirl and let your inner barista shine!
