Banana Creme Brulee

RECIPE: Banana Creme Brule

A Java Factory Brew That Tastes Like Dessert in Disguise. 

 

If crème brûlée and a banana cream pie decided to run away together and start a new life as a coffee drink, this would be their glorious, caramelized child. This cozy, silky, crackly-topped masterpiece is equal parts café treat and comfort dessert with a brûléed banana finish that makes you feel like you’re sitting at a fancy restaurant, except you’re in your kitchen wearing pajama pants.

 

The I Peal Good banana-and-cream flavored coffee pod is already a vibe — soft, creamy banana flavor that tastes like nostalgia in a mug but when you add warm cinnamon, real vanilla, velvety almond creamer, caramel sauce, and brûléed banana slices? It becomes a whole event. A caramelized, golden, torch-kissed event.

 

Crafted using Java Factory’s I Peal Good banana & cream coffee pods, this drink is your new go-to when you want a coffee that feels like dessert and makes your inner pastry chef feel very important.

How to Make Your Banana Crème Brûlée Coffee

Brew the Base

Start by brewing one cup of Java Factory I Peal Good flavored coffee. One pod, one mug, immediate banana-cream bliss. Your kitchen now smells like a bakery and a tropical vacation at the same time.

Sweeten + Layer

In your mug, drizzle Torani caramel sauce in a slow swirl. Add the brewed coffee, then stir in the brown sugar, a drop of vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon. The caramel melts, the coffee darkens, and magic starts to happen.

Cream It Up

Warm and froth the NutPods almond creamer. Pour it slowly into the mug so it creates silky, creamy layers. Add Fee Brothers banana syrup for extra banana depth. You’re officially entering dessert territory.

Brûlée the Bananas

Top your mug with fresh banana slices. Sprinkle them with a little brown sugar.

Take your kitchen torch (or your most chaotic inner chef energy) and lightly torch the sugar until it bubbles, melts, and forms that signature crème brûlée crackle.

Try not to gasp. It’s allowed, but try.

Finish with Flair

Add an extra drizzle of caramel sauce if your soul says yes.

Tap the brûlée topping with your spoon listen for that satisfying crack and prepare for greatness.

Variations: Take Your Banana Coffee Even Further

Want it iced? Brew the pod hot, cool it, and pour over ice with caramel around the glass. Top with brûléed bananas like a tropical cold brew sundae.


Want it richer? Use half heavy cream, half almond creamer for a custard-like texture.

Extra banana? Mash 1 tablespoon of banana into the bottom of your mug before adding the hot coffee.

On-the-go? Skip the torch (for safety) and drizzle caramel + sprinkle cinnamon for a road-friendly version.

Feeling wild? Drop a mini Nilla wafer (or two… or five) into the bottom of the mug before pouring. They melt into a banana-pudding-espresso situation.

Final Sip

Drinking this tastes like cracking into a banana crème brûlée at a fancy restaurant — if the waiter also handed you a mug of coffee and said, “Go ahead, torch it yourself.” It’s creamy, warm, caramelized, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.

This isn’t just a drink. It’s a performance. A dessert. A tiny moment of luxury in your everyday caffeination ritual. So grab the torch, brûlée those bananas, and sip like you’re living in a pastry chef montage scene.
