Welcome to Day 7 of SpillinTheBeans.com’s 30 Days of Christmas Coffees. Today, we have a unique and festive holiday coffee recipe that’s sure to warm your heart and delight your taste buds. Our “Frosted French Vanilla Bliss” combines the comforting flavors of French vanilla with a touch of holiday magic in the form of almond and white chocolate. So, let’s get brewing!
Warm and Comforting or Frozen and Fun
Our recipe card focuses on the warm and comfy version of the Frosted French Vanilla Bliss coffee. However, if you’re a fan of Ice Blendeds or Frappuccinos, then scroll to the bottom for a frozen twist. You need a bit more time though to make your French Vanilla “ice cubes,” though.

- – 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk
- – 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract

Notes
Want to Chill Out? Turn it into a Cold Blended Coffee!
If you prefer a frosty version, simply follow these steps:
1. Brew your French vanilla coffee and let it cool.
2. Pour the cooled coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze it.
3. Once you have coffee ice cubes, blend them with the white chocolate mixture and a handful of regular ice cubes for a creamy and frosty variation of “Frosted French Vanilla Bliss.”
A Few Variations
In addition to the iced version, you can make the Frosted French Vanilla Bliss your own traditional Christmas coffee.
- For a sweeter version, add a tablespoon of vanilla syrup to the melted chocolate mixture
- To lighten it up a bit instead, use half the amount of chocolate chips and substitute skim or a nut milk for the sweetened condensed milk
- If you’re using milk, you can also use the froth as a topper in place of whipped cream

Whether you like it hot or cold, this coffee is a celebration in a cup that will brighten your holiday season. So, make sure to visit the Christmas Coffee Shop for your French vanilla coffee beans, and get ready to enjoy the magic of the season, one sip at a time.
