Easy Pistachio Iced Coffee

This pistachio iced coffee is a spin on a classic iced coffee, with savory flavor from salted, roasted pistachios and sweetness from bourbon vanilla bean paste. The coffee gets its flavor from pistachio creme, creating a smooth, nutty iced coffee.

Where Can I Find Pistachio Creme

Pistachio creme is a flavorful spread with sugar and pistachios. It’s also a filling for Dubai Style Chocolate Bars. Its silky texture contrasts with nut butters, and you have the option to buy it or make it at home.  

I use the pistachio crème recipe in Desert of the Day. I’ve also used it in my pistachio ice cream recipe. However, you can buy it from speciality retailers like World Market, Williams Sonoma, or online grocery stores. If you do opt for the homemade version, make sure you strain it to prevent a gritty or chunky texture.

Tips for Serving Pistachio Iced Coffee 

The best thing about this pistachio iced coffee is you don’t need any special equipment to make it. Just add the ingredients and stir.

Pro tip: Avoid pouring hot water into a glass. The hot water can cause damage or cracks inside the drinking glass. Instead, pour the hot water, sugar, vanilla, and instant coffee into a mug. Then add ice and milk to a separate glass. Pour the coffee over the milk, stir, and enjoy.
