Greetings, Amrita here today! Ever get kind of annoyed when you go out and all you want is a delicious mocha/latte/frappe but the only vegan option you’ve got is a boring-a$$ soy latte? I hate soy lattes with a passion. I hate most things with a passion 🙁 I need help! Anyway… I figured since I can’t get anything decent anywhere I might as well come up with my own version of a Vegan Iced Mocha and save myself the coffee deprived sadness.

Obviously, I was not gonna use soy milk (kill!) in my Vegan Iced Mocha, so I utilized my homemade cashew milk instead since I personally think cashew milk is the most neutral and versatile non dairy milk in terms of flavor and thickness. I also got a little cheeky by adding in a splash of Kahlua into the mix along with a nice dollop of Coconut Whipped Cream on top. Hey, I’m still in boob recovery… give me a break. I can feel your castings of judgement seep into the depths of my wretched soul.

All in all, what I ended up with was a kick-a$$ Vegan Iced Mocha that tastes even better than the dairy based mocha frappes you get at so many coffee joints these days. To be honest, coffee joints in general aren’t for me, they’re full of ridiculous hipster punks that look like wannabe owls, pretending to read books they don’t actually read. They make me lose my temper. I think it’s time for me to take Yoga up. Or not.

Well, I’ll leave you with the recipe for my Vegan Iced Mocha, along with the instructions on how you can make your own homemade cashew milk and coconut whipped cream. You should definitely try your hand out at these very simple recipes because I’m pretty sure you’ll love it. And if you don’t… well, then that really sucks for you 🙂

Those look delicious :) The first time I had a soy latte, I was 16, and didn't know until that day that I was allergic to soy-- like super, hospitalization allergic. Suffice it to say, I didn't enjoy it! There are so many great coffee shops in the States that now offer hemp, almond, etc. milks, and I heard that even Starbucks in the States is now offering coconut milk. But.. I am in Malaysia right now! So no alternatives other than soy. I actually take a little container of coconut milk with me to coffee shops, and just add it to an americano. I love the flavor of coconut milk, but I am going to have to try this with cashew milk!

  Totally feeling you Michelle! Vegan coffee and other related kinda of drinks are pretty hard to find in Southeast Asia. I think the situation is the same in both Malaysia and Singapore? I am a HUGE fan of coffee ---> HUGE! I could drink up to 8 cups a day even. That being said, I think cashew milk is a viable alternative, better than soy cause soy tends to overwhelm in taste. CHEERS TO THE VEGAN MOCHA!

Your iced mocha looks absolutely marvelous ~ well done, I think you should give yourself a high five. I'm avoiding soy like the plague these days.....let me tell you....soy does nothing for your hormones. Nothing. And mine are way out of whack (ok, sorry about TMI) I don't plan on taking up Yoga either, will just this this scrumptious drink instead.

  Hey Laura, I've been avoiding soy too...somehow it gives me quite a bit of discomfort and pain in the tummy...soy-intolerent? I have no idea. Bread is doing that to me too....darn! I used to drink soy as a teen in hopes that it would pump more estrogen into my.....chest. Well we all know how that went :P
