A bold and energizing breakfast combining strong Vietnamese coffee with creamy coconut milk and oats, perfect for busy mornings and coffee lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) strong brewed Vietnamese coffee (or espresso/strong drip coffee)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) full-fat coconut milk (can substitute almond or oat milk)
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) sweetened condensed milk (or sweetened condensed coconut milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • Ice cubes (as needed for serving)

Instructions

  1. Brew the coffee using a Vietnamese phin filter or preferred method to make 1/2 cup (120ml) of very strong coffee. Let it cool slightly (about 10 minutes) so it’s warm but not hot.
  2. In a mixing bowl or mason jar, combine the brewed coffee, 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut milk, and 2 tablespoons (30g) sweetened condensed milk. Stir until the condensed milk dissolves completely.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats, 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract if using. Mix well to coat everything.
  4. Cover the jar or bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to soak and absorb the mixture.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats well. Add a few ice cubes on top to mimic traditional Vietnamese iced coffee. Taste and add more condensed milk if desired.

Notes

Use full-fat coconut milk for best creaminess. Chill coffee before mixing to avoid cooking oats. Adjust sweetness after chilling. Prep in mason jars for easy grab-and-go. For extra coffee kick, sprinkle instant coffee powder on top before serving. Can substitute sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk or maple syrup for dairy-free/vegan versions.
