Philz Banana Caramel Cold Brew 🍌☕️
If you’ve ever been to Philz Coffee, you know their drinks are next-level creative. One of my favorites? The Banana Caramel Cold Brew—it’s smooth, sweet, and a little unexpected. Instead of spending $8+ at the coffee shop, I made a better-for-you version at home using simple ingredients. And since Girl Math says making your coffee at home is basically like making money… this recipe is a win-win. 😉
This version uses a quick homemade banana caramel sauce that blends into almond milk for a creamy “banana milk” you’ll want to sip straight from the blender. Poured over cold brew and ice, it’s cozy, refreshing, and feels like a treat.
The Recipe
Ingredients
Banana Caramel Sauce
-
1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1-2 tablespoons water
-
2 tablespoons homemade caramel sauce
-
1 tablespoon coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
-
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Coffee
-
1 cup cold brew
-
1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
-
Ice
-
Extra caramel sauce for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the banana caramel sauce
-
Add the mashed banana and water to a saucepan over medium heat. Let the banana start to melt into the water, stirring often.
-
Add sugar and cinnamon, stir.
-
Sauté for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the banana softens and the sugar caramelizes.
-
Remove from heat and blend to fully combine.
Step 2: Assemble the cold brew
-
Add 2 tablespoons of banana caramel sauce to a glass and mix with your cold brew until frothy and combined.
-
Add the almond milk and whisk until completely smooth.
-
Fill glass with ice.
-
Top with additional vanilla cold foam and caramel sauce if desired, then stir and sip.
