Ingredients
- Brown Sugar Blueberry Puree – made from fresh or frozen blueberries, brown sugar (light or dark) and a pinch of cinnamon powder. Feel free to leave out the cinnamon. Or substitute with a little vanilla extract.
- Coffee – room temperature or iced coffee. You can also substitute iced espresso or your favorite cold brew coffee recipe. Alternately use the cold foam recipe with hot coffee and hot or iced teas.
- Half and half – to make the cold foam recipe. Heavy cream can be substituted but it will produce a much thicker cold foam similar to whipping cream. Be careful if using heavy cream not to shake too long or you’ll end up with blueberry butter instead. Don’t want cold foam? Add more blueberry puree to the glass and top with a splash of oat milk, almond milk, cream or whole milk.
Step by step instructions
- Brew coffee at double the strength as you normally would. Then pour over ice to quickly cool the coffee and melt the ice to bring the coffee to normal strength. Store iced coffee refrigerated until ready to use.
- Make blueberry puree. Simmer blueberries with brown sugar and water until thick. Then stir in cinnamon powder and puree smooth using a blender, hand blender or food processor. Store refrigerated until ready to use. The blueberry cinnamon brown sugar puree is thick like jam. But you can make it thinner like a syrup instead and it will be more like Starbucks brown sugar syrup used in the popular Starbucks drink the iced brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso. To make the blueberry brown sugar sauce more like homemade brown sugar syrup simply add more water to the mixture to thin to the consistency of simple syrup. Or to make it even quicker you can also substitute store bought blueberry jam.
- Swirl a spoonful of the beautiful purple blueberry puree around the bottom of a large glass.
- Add ice and iced coffee leaving about an 1 ½ inches of space at the top.
- You don’t need a blender for cold foam or any special equipment to make diy cold foam at home. To make this cold foam recipe use a cocktail shaker, jar with lid or other tightly covered container to shake the cream with blueberry puree until thick and foamy.
- Pour blueberry foam on coffee to fill the glass.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder to the top if you’d like then serve. Add a straw for stirring. Or serve without a straw so the blueberry foam hits your lips first followed by sweet blueberry iced coffee.
- Enjoy!

This blueberry coffee recipe is made from iced coffee sweetened with the blueberry brown sugar puree and topped with blueberry cold foam.

Serving a crowd at a shower, party or picnic? Increase the serving size and serve blueberry coffee in a big pitcher like iced tea. Stir before serving and add a handful of fresh or frozen blueberries to garnish.
Or turn it into a blueberry cocktail by spiking it with Irish cream, whiskey or vodka which all pair very well with coffee in cocktails.
