Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled (or strong instant coffee)
- 1/2 cup whole or 2% milk (or almond, oat, or coconut milk for dairy-free)
- 1 1/2 cups ice (crushed or cubes)
- 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 1–2 tablespoons granulated sugar (to taste, or substitute honey, agave, or stevia)
- Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
- Mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Brew 1 cup of strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature or chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
- Measure out 1/2 cup milk, 1 1/2 cups ice, and 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup. Prepare sugar if using.
- Add cooled coffee, milk, ice, chocolate syrup, and sugar (if using) to a blender.
- Blend on low to crush the ice, then increase to high and blend for 30-45 seconds until smooth and frothy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness as desired by adding more syrup, sugar, milk, or ice.
- Pour into a chilled glass. Top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate chips or shavings if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, use chilled coffee to prevent melting the ice. Adjust sweetness and chocolate to taste. For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and dairy-free chocolate syrup. If making a double batch, blend in two rounds to avoid overfilling the blender. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours and re-blend with fresh ice before serving.
