For a light snack, opt for fresh fruit, like berries or a sliced apple, to balance the richness of the coffee. If you’re craving something more indulgent, serve it alongside chocolate desserts like protein brownie bites, strawberry banana protein bars, blueberry pecan protein bars, cookies, or cheesecake.
For a savory option, a warm sandwich or ham and cheese sliders can complement the sweetness of the coffee while balancing the flavors.
How to store
To store iced caramel coffee, transfer any leftovers into an airtight bottle and refrigerate for up to 1-2 days.
It’s best to store the coffee and ice separately to prevent dilution, adding fresh ice when you’re ready to enjoy it again.
If you prefer hot coffee, you can reheat it on the stove, though this may affect the texture of the caramel drizzle.
