Cooking steps
-
1
Brew 1 cup of medium roast coffee and let it cool completely—using slightly stronger coffee is a Tim Hortons tip for a bold Iced Capp foundation.
-
2
Cook 2 slices of bacon until crispy, then crumble into small pieces. Set aside for topping (this adds authentic smoky Canadian bacon crunch).
-
3
In a blender, combine cooled coffee, heavy cream, ice cubes, maple syrup, sugar, and maple extract if using. Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until thick, creamy, and barely pourable—key for mimicking that signature Tim Hortons Iced Capp texture.
-
4
Pour the blended mixture into chilled glasses. Drizzle a little extra maple syrup inside the glass before pouring for layered maple sweetness.
-
5
Top with a generous sprinkle of crispy bacon crumbles. Serve immediately with a straw and spoon to enjoy the creamy coffee and crunchy bacon in each sip—this dual texture is a signature Tim Hortons twist.
