Ladies (and gents), let me share with you my absolute favorite quick afternoon pick-me-up that’ll make you feel like you’re indulging in a fancy café treat, but it’s so simple you can whip it up during a work break! I’m talking about my Maple-Cinnamon Cloud Coffee Float – trust me, it’s about to become your new obsession.
The first time I made this, my bestie literally refused to believe I hadn’t ordered it from some hipster coffee shop downtown. Like, honey, I’m about to show you how to be your own barista! 💁♀️
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 cup strong cold brew coffee (store-bought is fine, no judgment!)
– 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup
– Whipped cream
– A pinch of cinnamon
– Optional: caramel drizzle (because why not?)
Now, let’s get to the fun part! First, grab your prettiest tall glass – presentation is everything, queens! Pour that maple syrup in first, then add your cold brew. Give it a quick stir. Now, here’s the secret to making it look Instagram-worthy: slowly add those ice cream scoops so they float perfectly on top.
Top it with a generous swirl of whipped cream (and I mean generous – we’re not counting calories today!), sprinkle that cinnamon, and if you’re feeling extra fancy, drizzle some caramel on top.

The best part? This entire masterpiece takes less than 5 minutes to make. It’s perfect for those afternoons when you need something special to get you through those last few hours of work or when you want to impress your friends without spending hours in the kitchen.
Pro tip: For an extra kick, I sometimes add a tiny pinch of sea salt on top – it brings out all the flavors and makes it taste even more like something from a fancy coffee shop. Don’t knock it till you try it!
Y’all, I cannot tell you how many times this recipe has saved me from spending $7 on an overpriced coffee drink. Plus, making it at home means you can adjust everything to your taste. Want it sweeter? Add more maple syrup. Need more coffee? Go for it! It’s your kitchen, your rules!
