  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Description

Sweet and spicy cinnamon roll syrup meets creamy cream cheese icing and your favorite coffee in this decadent homemade iced coffee treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • Ice cubes
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (to adjust consistency)
  • Cinnamon powder
  • Whipped cream
  • Cinnamon roll pieces

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, cinnamon sticks, and ground nutmeg.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
  4. After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool completely.
  5. Once the syrup is cool, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the cinnamon sticks and any sediment. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the cinnamon roll syrup into an airtight container or jar. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  7. Make sure your cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature before you start.
  8. In a mixing bowl (or using a stand mixer), beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until they are light and fluffy.
  9. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and butter mixture, beating on low speed until it is fully incorporated.
  10. Stir in the vanilla extract. Then, add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  11. If the icing is too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
  12. If you want to get fancy, you can transfer the cream cheese icing to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
  13. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
  14. Pour about 2-3 tablespoons of cinnamon roll syrup over the ice.
  15. Pour the cooled brewed coffee over the ice and syrup.
  16. Pour in the milk.
  17. Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the top of the iced coffee.
  18. If you want to get extra fancy, you can garnish your iced coffee with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder, a dollop of whipped cream, or even a few small pieces of cinnamon roll.
  19. Finally, give your iced coffee a good stir to combine all the flavors. Then, grab a straw and enjoy!
