Dunkin Iced Caramel Coffee Recipe

Dunkin Iced Caramel Coffee! This is the best Dunkin Donuts Caramel Iced Coffee Recipe ever. I made my copycat Dunkin iced caramel coffee recipe healthy with my homemade date caramel, organic cold brew coffee, and a splash of cream.

If you love Dunkin iced caramel coffee's and want to skip the drive thru, you came to the right place! I used to go to Dunkin a lot, believe it or not, but one day I decided to look up the ingredient label.. and decided it was so much healthier to make it at home.

DUNKIN ICED CARAMEL COFFEE INGREDIENTS

The classic Dunkin iced caramel swirl coffee with cream has the following ingredients, according to their website:

Brewed Arabica Coffee; Caramel Flavored Swirl Syrup: Sweetened Condensed Nonfat Milk (Nonfat Milk, Sugar), High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sugar, Water, Brown Sugar, Caramel Color, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Natural Flavors, Salt; Light Cream: Milk, Cream, Disodium Phosphate (Stabilizer), Sodium Citrate (Stabilizer).

High fructose corn syrup, artificial caramel color, preservatives, and the sneaky "natural flavors" which could mask over 1000 chemicals.. not what I want my morning to run on!

So I made a healthy homemade Dunkin iced caramel coffee copycat recipe instead.

MY COPYCAT DUNKIN ICED CARAMEL COFFEE RECIPE

• 2 tablespoons of date caramel (recipe in my caramel macchiato)
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 1 cup cold brew coffee (make it at home or store bought is fine)
• 1-2 tablespoons organic half & half or heavy cream

And that's it! My Dunkin Donuts Iced Caramel coffee recipe is literally just made with date caramel (dates, coconut milk), black organic coffee, and organic cream!

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST DUNKIN ICED CARAMEL COFFEE RECIPE

STEP 1: BREW COLD BREW COFFEE (OR BUY SOME)

There are a couple ways to make iced coffee for home made Dunkin iced coffee recipes.

1. Brew hot coffee and cool it in the fridge
2. Make cold brew in your French press
3. Make coffee from espresso (Americano)

There are definitely more than 3 ways to make homemade cold coffee, but these are the easiest ways in my opinion.

If you brew hot coffee and then cool it off in the fridge, it is very easy but it might not has as rich and smooth of a flavor as cold brew coffee does. But, it is so easy for a beginner.

Cold brew in a French press is super easy, just add the coffee grounds, add cold water, and then steep overnight in your fridge. Stir once and then press down. Don't press it until it's steeped overnight!

And this one might be controversial, but I think making an Americano for your homemade Dunkin iced caramel coffee is honestly the easiest. If you have an espresso maker that is. Just brew 2-3 shots of espresso, add cold water and then pour it over ice. Fresh and delicious!

STEP 2: MAKE DATE CARAMEL (OR BUY SOME)

I love date caramel for all my caramel recipes, especially a homemade Dunkin iced caramel coffee recipe. It's not too sickly sweet, but it still tastes just like caramel sauce!

To make my date caramel, I just blended together about 1 cup of soaked dates with ⅛ cup of full fat coconut milk. If you like thinner caramel sauce, just add more milk! You can read more details about making homemade date caramel in my Caramel Macchiato recipe.. but it really is as easy as blending soaked dates and milk!

STEP 3: PUT IT ALL TOGETHER

Finally, let's put the whole Dunkin Donuts iced caramel coffee copycat together! The healthy way!

Add 2 tablespoons of caramel swirl to a glass. You can use your milk frother to make a fancy caramel drizzle on the sides, see it in my video below!

Next, add about 1 cup of ice cubes.

Add 1 cup cold coffee.

Add creamer.

That's it, it is so easy to make at home and way healthier for you!

ENJOY!
