Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This recipe delivers a creamy, drinkable breakfast that feels indulgent but comes together in minutes; if you like other blended coffee drinks, try the Vegan Maca Caramel Frap for a sweeter, dairy-free alternative.

Creamy, frothy texture from emulsified cashew butter and oil — no milk or espresso needed.
Ready in about 5 minutes, perfect for rushed mornings or a portable breakfast.
Customizable sweetness and easy swaps for MCT oil or cashew butter preferences.

Because it’s quick, filling, and refreshingly smooth, Immortal Coffee is an easy daily upgrade when you want coffee plus a bit more staying power than a plain cup.

Ingredients You’ll Need

10 ounces hot coffee: Adds the brewed coffee base and hot liquid needed to emulsify — use freshly brewed and hot for best emulsification.
1 tablespoon cashew butter: Cashew butter provides creaminess, body, and a mild nutty flavor that emulsifies smoothly into hot coffee.
1 tablespoon MCT oil: MCT oil supplies a neutral, fast-absorbing fat that helps create a silky mouthfeel; it also blends easily into the coffee.
1/2 teaspoon vanilla: Vanilla brightens flavor and adds a sweet, aromatic note that complements the cashew butter and date.
pinch sea salt: A pinch of sea salt rounds and balances sweetness while enhancing overall flavor.
1/2 Medjool date, to sweeten (you can use more or less/none, to taste): The Medjool date is the natural sweetener option here — it dissolves during blending and adds caramel-like sweetness; omit or adjust to taste.

How to Make Immortal Coffee

Add 10 ounces hot coffee, 1 tablespoon cashew butter, 1 tablespoon MCT oil, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, a pinch of sea salt, and 1/2 a Medjool date (if using) to an upright, vented blender (for example a Vitamix). Do not overfill the blender — keep below the maximum fill line for hot liquids.
Secure the lid and begin blending at low speed. Gradually increase to high and blend until the mixture is completely creamy, frothy, and smooth — you’ll see a light, even froth on top and feel a silky mouthfeel when you taste it. Hold the lid (and vent if specified by your blender) while blending to avoid steam escape.
Pour the Immortal Coffee into your favourite mug immediately and enjoy while the top is frothy. If transporting, transfer to an insulated cup and shake gently before drinking to re-incorporate any separated foam.

Blender Technique

Emulsifying hot coffee and fats requires the right blender technique and equipment. Use an upright blender with a vented lid to let steam escape safely and avoid pressure buildup.

Always start at a low speed and ramp up to high — this helps the cashew butter and MCT oil break into tiny droplets and suspend evenly in the coffee, creating a smooth emulsion instead of separating.

Fill below the blender’s hot-liquid maximum line.
Start blending on low, then increase to high over 10–20 seconds.
Hold the lid and vent per your blender’s instructions to control steam release.

MCT vs Coconut Oil

MCT oil is neutral in flavor and blends without adding coconut notes; coconut oil will add a mild coconut flavor and a slightly heavier mouthfeel. Both create the creamy texture this drink relies on.

Swap amounts 1:1 — use 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in place of 1 tablespoon MCT oil if you prefer the flavor or don’t have MCT on hand.

MCT oil: neutral flavor, clean mouthfeel.
Coconut oil: subtle coconut flavor, slightly richer texture.
Either oil should be blended thoroughly to emulsify with the cashew butter.

Best Breakfast Pairings

Immortal Coffee is designed to be filling on its own but pairs well with a quick piece of fruit or a small protein-rich snack for balanced morning fuel.

Choose portable options if you’re heading out — a banana, a boiled egg, or a nut bar complements the drink’s richness without slowing you down.

Piece of fruit (banana, apple, or pear)
Hard-boiled egg or small Greek yogurt (if not dairy-free)
Whole-grain or nut-based bar for extra staying power

Tips for Success

Blender safety: Always use an upright, vented blender for hot liquids, keep the fill level safe for your model, and start blending on low before increasing speed to prevent splashes or steam eruptions.

Get the right texture: Blend until the surface shows a uniform froth and the drink tastes silky — under-blending can leave oily pockets from the cashew butter or MCT oil.

Adjust sweetness quickly: Start with 1/2 a Medjool date and add more if needed; you can also use a drop of liquid sweetener or a sprinkle of cinnamon for flavor without extra sugar.

Frequently asked questions

You can blend it and chill it briefly, but the best texture is when it’s freshly blended and warm. If you must make it ahead, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and re-warm gently, then re-blend or shake before drinking to refresh the froth.

Start with the optional 1/2 Medjool date; taste and add more date or a drop of liquid sweetener as needed. You can also skip sweetener entirely if you prefer a less sweet, richer drink.

Almond or sunflower seed butter can work, but texture and flavor will change — cashew butter is recommended for its naturally creamy, neutral profile that emulsifies smoothly with hot coffee.

Ready in minutes

Immortal Coffee is an easy ritual to add to busy mornings — it gives you a creamy, filling start without a lot of fuss.

Experiment with the date and oil swap to match your flavor preferences, and enjoy this as a portable breakfast when time is tight.

Notes

I really enjoy the richness of this drink and find that it suits me better on days when I need to be on the go, but I still want to feel satisfied. One of these plus a piece of fruit = surprisingly satiating breakfast if you’re short on time.

Raw (as opposed to roasted) cashew butter is preferable for me personally–it’s also really versatile! It’s an excellent quick base for a salad dressing or creamy pasta sauce.

You can substitute coconut oil for the MCT oil if you like.
