Prep Time: 5 minutes | Difficulty: Easy peasy (banana squeezy)

INGREDIENTS

For Both Versions:

  • 1 Crazy Cups Bananas Foster Flambé coffee pod (regular or decaf)

  • Ice (enough to fill your glass)

 

For Banana Milk Pour-Over:

  • ½ banana, mashed smooth

  • ¾ cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy like oat or almond)

  • Dash of cinnamon (optional)

For Banana Cold Foam:

  • ¼ banana, mashed smooth

  • ½ cup cold milk or non-dairy creamer

  • 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional)

  • Dash of ground cinnamon (optional)

Optional Garnishes:

  • Banana slice on rim

  • Cinnamon sprinkle

  • Crushed graham crackers (for a pie-like flair) 

INTSTRUCTIONS

Base Iced Coffee (for both versions): Brew your Crazy Cups Bananas Foster Flambé coffee pod directly over a tall glass filled with ice (minimum 6 oz brew). Let chill while prepping your add-ons.

Option 1: Banana Milk Pour-Over

  • Mash ½ banana in a bowl until completely smooth.
  • Whisk banana with ¾ cup milk until blended (use a milk frother or shaker bottle for a smoother texture).
  • Pour banana milk over your iced coffee.
  • Garnish with banana slice or sprinkle of cinnamon.

Option 2: Banana Cold Foam Topper

  • Mash ¼ banana until smooth.
  • Combine mashed banana, milk/creamer, and sweetener (if using) in a milk frother or blender.
  • Froth until fluffy and airy.
  • Spoon cold foam over iced coffee.
  • Top with cinnamon or banana slice.

 TIPS & VARIATIONS

  • Dairy-Free Dream: Oat milk creates ultra-creamy banana milk and foam.

  • Chill Hack: Freeze banana slices ahead to use as “ice cubes” without dilution.

  • Flavor Swap: Try this method with our French Vanilla Twist or Salted Caramel pods for different vibes.

  • Go Extra: Add a sprinkle of nutmeg or a tiny splash of vanilla extract to the milk mixture.
