A creamy, naturally sweetened coffee drink inspired by Starbucks’ Date Morning Coffee, made with dates and almond milk for a cozy, indulgent morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) strong brewed coffee, preferably medium or dark roast
  • 3 large Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk or your favorite nut milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Ice cubes (optional, for iced version)

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of strong coffee and pour into a heat-safe container; let cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Place 3 pitted and chopped Medjool dates in a small bowl, cover with warm water, and soak for about 10 minutes.
  3. Drain the soaking water from the dates.
  4. Add the softened dates, 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of sea salt to a blender.
  5. Blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy; add more almond milk if too thick and pulse again.
  6. Pour the cooled coffee into the blender with the date mixture and blend for another 15 seconds to combine.
  7. For a warm drink, pour into a mug and serve immediately.
  8. For iced version, fill a glass with ice cubes, pour the drink over the ice, stir gently, and serve.

Notes

Soak dates before blending to avoid gritty texture and blender jamming. Use medium-dark roast coffee for best flavor. Let coffee cool before blending to prevent curdling. Adjust sweetness by adding more dates or a pinch of sea salt. For extra froth, blend longer or use a milk frother. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 days; stir or reblend before serving.
