👩🍳 Directions (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Brew and Chill the Coffee
Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool completely. For best results, use cold brew — it gives a smoother, less acidic flavor.
Step 2: Sweeten the Coffee
Mix sugar or simple syrup into the cold coffee until dissolved. Adjust sweetness to your liking.
Step 3: Prepare the Cream Layer
In a small bowl, whisk together:
- Heavy cream
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Vanilla extract
Mix until smooth and slightly thickened.
For extra creaminess, whisk for 10 seconds or use a frother.
Step 4: Fill Your Glass with Ice
Add plenty of ice cubes to your serving glass.
A full glass helps maintain the clean layered look.
Step 5: Pour the Coffee Base
Add the sweetened cold coffee and milk over the ice.
Step 6: Add the Cream Layer Slowly
Gently pour the cream over the back of a spoon to help it float on top.
This creates the iconic layered White Russian look.
Step 7: Garnish
Top with cocoa powder, chocolate flakes, or a single coffee bean.
Step 8: Serve
Enjoy it layered or stir lightly for a fully blended creamy drink.
