Iced Coffee with Caramel and Vanilla Cream Recipe (with Video)

To make the vanilla creamer
1. Place the half and half, and sweetened condensed milk in a small saucepan and bring to a light simmer while constantly whisking.
2. Feel free to use less condensed milk if you want it less sweet. 1 can makes it very very sweet for those that want a lot of sweetness without much added cream. Taste as you go!
3. Once the sweetened condensed milk is mixed in and the mixture is at a light simmer, remove from heat and add the vanilla bean.
4. Stir and let steep for at least 30 minutes.
5. Allow it to cool and then refrigerate. You can leave the vanilla bean in for as long as you like for additional vanilla flavor!
To make the caramel sauce
1. Add all the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat while constantly whisking.
2. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes until everything is homogenous and smooth.
3. Allow to cool briefly before storing in a jar or a squeeze bottle.
4. Store in the fridge - it will harden when it gets cold but simply put it in a warm water bath for a few minutes to loosen it back up!
Assemble your iced coffee
1. Drizzle some caramel around the glass, add ice and the coffee.
2. Then top with some vanilla creamer and another drizzle of caramel sauce.
3. Save the turtles - use a metal straw.
4. Enjoy!
