Vanilla Bean Creme Fauxccino NG

By Katie Mae Stanley of Nourishing Simplicity

This drink is sure to hit the spot on a hot day. It is creamy, slightly sweet, and bursting with vanilla.

Few things are better than drinking a cold icy drink out of a mason jar with a fun straw in the summer. This vanilla bean creme fauxccino is definitely at the top of my list right now. Hot days make me want to wander into a coffee chain and order a nice big blended iced drink. Honest moment here, I may have in the past couple months given in and ordered a few with less syrup and dairy-free milk.

As you know, I am a big fan of fauxccinos for many reasons- they are delicious, so much better for you, less expensive, and easy to whip up! You can have your own ready in less time than it takes to drive to the coffee shop!

This specific fauxccino is coffee free, it’s a milk based drink instead. I used almond milk, but you can adapt to whatever type of milk you prefer. The key to this icy drink is making frozen milk cubes. They ensure that your drink doesn’t become watery.

Other Fauxccinos to Enjoy:

  • Salted Caramel Mocha
  • Chai Tea
  • Java Chip

Vanilla Bean Creme Fauxccino

1 cup milk (raw, almond, or coconut)
8 milk ice cubes (raw, almond, or coconut)
2 TBS maple syrup or raw honey
1/2 vanilla bean caviar*
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Whipped cream (optional)

1. Freeze milk of choice in an ice cube tray until solid.

2. *Cut a vanilla bean in half, slice it open. Use the sharp side of the knife to scrape out the caviar (seeds).

3. Place all the ingredients in a blender. Blend on high until smooth.

4. Pour into a glass and top with whipped cream if desired.

    Hi Katie,,

    Just one question. Hate to ask, but could one possibly sub pure vanilla extract if have no vanilla bean? Or would that be considered heresy?:) There is no Whole Foods or other like stores close to me the get the “bean”. But I think one is finally coming. I hope so.

    Blessings,

    Patty

      I skip the vanilla bean all the time and just add an extra 1/4 tsp or so of extract. The vanilla bean makes it fun but it’s not 100% necessary. I tend to buy my vanilla beans in bulk from Amazon or Mountian Rose Herbs. It is MUCH more cost effective to do so. I think the last time I bought beans from Amazon I paid about 50 cents/per bean, in contrast to the last time I checked at Whole Foods several years ago it was about $8/bean.
