How to Make Copycat Dunkin Easter Vanilla Cream Cold Brew

Step 1: Prepare Your Glass

Fill a tall glass with ice. The more ice, the better—this drink is meant to stay frosty and refreshing.

As soon as the ice hits the glass, you’ll already feel that “coffee shop moment” starting.

Step 2: Mix the Coffee

Pour your cold brew coffee over the ice.

Add vanilla syrup and stir well. Then pour in your milk slowly so it swirls through the coffee in ribbons.

That creamy marbling is honestly one of the best parts—it’s like watching your drink come alive.

Step 3: Make the Vanilla Cold Foam

In a small cup or jar, combine:

heavy cream
milk
vanilla syrup
powdered sugar (if using)

Froth it using a handheld milk frother, whisk, or blender for 20–30 seconds until thick and airy.

You want it soft, cloud-like, and spoonable—almost like melted vanilla ice cream.

Step 4: Assemble Like a Dunkin Pro

Spoon the cold foam on top of your iced coffee.

Let it float gently, thick and creamy, like a sweet cap of vanilla goodness.

If you want to make it extra festive, top with whipped cream and pastel sprinkles.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Grab a straw, take a sip, and let that creamy vanilla sweetness hit first followed by the smooth cold brew.

It’s refreshing, comforting, and totally Easter-worthy.

The Easter Magic Moment (The Best Part)

The first thing you’ll notice when you make this is the smell—soft vanilla, almost like a warm bakery scent, drifting up from the glass even though the drink is iced. It’s sweet without being overpowering, and it immediately feels like a special occasion kind of coffee.

When you spoon the cold foam on top, it makes this gentle plop sound as it settles, and you’ll see it slowly melt into the coffee like a creamy pastel cloud. That little swirl is pure satisfaction—like the drink is inviting you to take the first sip.

And that first sip? It’s honestly a whole Easter morning vibe. The cold brew is bold and smooth, but the vanilla cream turns it into something softer, almost dessert-like. The foam hits your lips first—cool, airy, and sweet—then the coffee follows with a rich, chilled finish. It’s the kind of drink that makes you pause for a second and go, okay wow… I made this?

This is the kind of coffee you’ll want to serve while everyone’s still in pajamas, baskets on the table, candy wrappers scattered around, and sunlight pouring through the window. It’s festive without trying too hard, and it feels like a reward for waking up early.

If you’re hosting Easter brunch, it’s also a total crowd-pleaser. Set out the toppings—sprinkles, whipped cream, mini chocolate eggs—and suddenly everyone’s customizing their own fancy café drink. It becomes part of the celebration, not just something you drink on the side.

And if it’s just you? Even better. This coffee is perfect for those quiet moments when the house is still, the air smells like spring, and you finally get to sit down and enjoy something indulgent. It feels cozy and refreshing at the same time—like Easter comfort in a cup.

Tips to Make It Taste Even More Like Dunkin

Use vanilla bean syrup if you can find it (it’s richer and more “dessert-like”).
Chill your glass before making the drink for an extra-cold café feel.
Add a splash of sweet cream creamer if you want a stronger Dunkin vibe.
Use oat milk for a trendy, creamy coffee shop flavor.
