What is Turkish Coffee?
Have you ever tried Turkish coffee? I mean, like the real deal? It doesn’t involve hazelnut creamer, but it does involve sweetening it, then cooking on the stove until it’s nice and frothy.
The taste is similar to espresso, rich yet still a perfect “shot” of coffee to sip on. Well friends, I think you’re gonna like where I’m going with this today. Dairy free and vegan Hazelnut Turkish Coffee! A little bit of cultural coffee fusion to make your coffee morning moment better! Not to mention more ROBUST!
You may know that my father in law owned a coffee farm in Hawaii, right? Remember, I spoke about my love for it in my Thai Iced Vegan Coffee recipe.
Anyway, that kinda made me a coffee snob. I blame my husband. But the good news is it EXPANDED my horizon when it came to preparing coffee. That is without losing it’s quality or making it super duper sugar loaded. I learned it’s all about process and that a little goes a long way.
I also learned that the type of coffee BEAN you use is crucial and that adding creamer (or in this case, dairy free vegan hazelnut creamer) is even better when heated on the stove! Turkish coffee is pretty much AWESOME for practicing that!
I’m going to make you fall in love with you morning routine with this vegan Turkish coffee recipe, using Dairy Free Hazelnut So Delicious Creamer.
The Oh so Yummy So Delicious dairy free creamer came from those beautiful red isles. You know where that is, right? TARGET! Target has a whole new line of Better for you Coffee Creamers (organic and dairy free) in the dairy section. But I am warning you….. they disappear FAST! Like real fast!
Okay, before we jump to this vegan hazelnut coffee recipe, let me first let me explain how you make a traditional Turkish coffee recipe. And then I’ll explain how I tweaked it, just a tad.
How to Make Turkish Coffee
Turkish coffee, or some may call this, Greek coffee, is made on the stove top with a Greek briki (a small of pot with a long handle that’s used to boil coffee). Turkish coffee creates a froth on its surface almost like an espresso. It’s also notable for the way it’s ground. You gotta make it SUPER FINE ya’ll! I blended a my Arabica coffee beans a little longer in the coffee grinder, until it almost turned into a powder.
The coffee is then simmered (or soft boiled) with the water and sugar, but in this case, I subbed the extra sugar with so delicious vegan hazelnut coffee creamer. After simmering, the coffee is not filtered out.
Now here’s where I tweak it. I did not use a Bikri, obviously. Instead I used a small pot on the stove and add in a vegan hazelnut coffee creamer, to make it even frothier. Yes, my tweak is still AMAZING! I may be bias.
But don’t worry, you won’t actually drink the grinds at the bottom. Trust me, it works and is SOOOOO good!
I know, I know. You’re thinking… “coffee.. on a stove and unfiltered?” Yes, it’s SO easy, yum, and extra fancy without actually being fancy! You’ll get a homemade coffee shop drink in less than 10 minutes.
Except this Turkish style vegan hazelnut coffee is free, it’s made with real ingredients, and it’s quite cozy and delicious!!

Did I mention this is also great for when you go camping? Just roast over an open fire. Uh, not that you are going camping anytime during Fall or Winter, but you get my point. A coffee hack you can use anywhere really. Better than instant, better than the trip to the $$ coffee shop, and just plain BETTER for YOU! Oh yea people, get your Vegan HAZELNUT Coffee fix at home and made REAL GOOD!
Dang, makes me want to jet over to Turkey or Greece just to pick up an Bikiri. Anyone want to sponsor that trip? Kidding.. maybe. Instead, I’ll hop on over to my local Target. It’s more economical and a trip I make daily anyway. Haha!
Mmmmm, I adore Turkish vegan hazelnut coffee.
Wanna give it a whirl? If so, what So Delicious dairy free coffee creamer would you use? Plain or Hazelnut flavored?

I”m not so good at the whole savoring coffee bit. That is part of why I drink decaf–I drink it way too fast!
haha well you’re also one BUSY lady!
I LOVE So Delicious. Use so many of their products! This coffee reminds me of Spanish coffee that my host mom made for me every morning. Oh, how I wish she were here to make me that right now.
me too! does she deliver? LOL!
fancy fancy! i actually just bought so delicious vanilla coconut creamer! it’s fantastic!
Right? I love it! like obsessed!
It’s like magic how the coffee stays in the bottom 🙂
Indonesians prepare their coffee in the same fashion, minus the cream and it always secretly amazes me. It’s the best way to make a big batch of coffee when camping, no fuss no muss!
I am sure those creamers are quite delish.
OH I bet you have had some pretty amazing coffee! what was your favorite? I still like Thai coffee too! Hard to choose.
you speak my love language…
Always! <3
O it just looks so pretty and perfect for a cozy morning!
right? let’s have a coffee date!
Nope, I sure haven’t tried Turkish Style Coffee – yet – but that might change before the day is over! I spent my teen years in Abu Dhabi and there were so many little cafes that sold it but I never tried it then – loving your use of So Delicious in this, Lindsay!
really? Wow! let’s go back and try all the coffee! hehe
Love So Delicious Creamer but I can’t remember the last time I tried Hazelnut. I’ll have to give this a try when the hubby gets back this weekend, it’s been a long time since we’ve made Turkish Coffee and he’s bringing coffee back with him!
Oh you must! It’s a fav!
Lindsay, your photos are absolutely STUNNING! And I need to try this coffee, because me + coffee + hazelnuts are going to get along just fine 🙂
Yes!! I think you’d love Denise. Keep me posted on if you try it
I had a delicious cafe latte this morning at a comfy coffee shop on Nantucket with a blogging friend! I sprinkled mine with cocoa powder and it was DELISH! Oh and the mugs they serve them in…amazingly adorable. I think I am going to have to hunker down there this Fall/Winter.
great! i’ll come visit. LOVE the mugs and YOU!
COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I so love me some coffee although I may be too lazy to do this! I did not recall that about your father-in-law!!!
I am not a hazelnut fan but I will go for other flavors!!!!!!
Vanilla for you! and a side of cookies!
i make instant latte using ground coffee and it just works..i am so going to try this turkish version.i have seen these creamers but never tried it. gorgeous photography friend.

Will you please come cook me coffee?
I would be forever grateful.

This looks so warm and cozy. Perfect way to start the day on a cool fall morning.
I so agree friend! we need to enjoy together
This looks awesome, Lindsay! I’ve never tried Turkish coffee before but it sounds so easy – perfect for a lazy Sunday morning. Can’t wait to try!!
For sure! sunday morning perfection!
I love Turkish coffee! I can’t believe I never considered adding something like coffee creamer to it. This is definitely happening tomorrow morning!
let me know if you try it friend!
This looks like the perfect special coffee treat! I always make my own coffee creamer since I haven’t had the best luck with store-bought varieties! But I’d definitely choose hazelnut here! 🙂
Ooh this looks so decadent and delicious – and that creamer sounds AMAZING!
A coffee farm in Hawaii??? That is FREAKING cool! If it’s still there I’d TOTALLY visit and make coffee 🙂
you’re so invited if we go back!
Such a lovely recipe! I love Turkish coffee but I use a slightly different method. I first bring water to a boil and remove from heat, add the coffee and then bring it back on the stove for a few seconds.

That’s a great tip! THANK YOU!

I now live in Split, Croatia and its common for people to drink “Turska kava” or “Bosanska kava” at home since it’s quick.
My Sarajevan husband makes coffee in a džezva (ibrik) every morning using beans purchased in bulk from a gentleman in Old Town Sarajevo who pounds it by hand but I constantly push the virtues of Armenian, Arabic, and Turkish versions which uses cardamom. (Yum.) So, I would totally try this recipe with the Euro equivalent of a nutty flavored milk.
There’s a whole art to making coffee in a džezva/ibrik with a super foamy/creamy layer on top that I have not yet mastered so an AeroPress it is 🙂
oh that sounds divine! Keep me posted on if you try it. 🙂
