Chocolate-Coffee Slushies image

A delicious cold drink for summertime or anytime. Drinks like this cost a fortune at a coffeehouse, but come out of your blender for pennies a serving. As easy as it is tasty.

Time 5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 -16 ounces cold coffee (regular, half-caf, or decaf)
16 coffee ice cubes (freeze regular, half-caf, or decaf coffee in ordinary ice trays)
6 tablespoons hot chocolate powder (a big jar or carton of mix is more economical than a box of envelopes)
1/2 cup milk (use half and half or cream for a richer drink)
whipped cream (optional)
chocolate shavings (optional) or ground coffee (optional)
Kahlua (optional)

Steps:

  • Put cold coffee, coffee ice cubes, hot chocolate mix, and milk into your blender.
  • Use low to medium speed, or whatever speed is recommended for crushing ice, to blend until the coffee ice cubes are thoroughly crushed.
  • Pour into serving cups.
  • For an attractive presentation top with a dollop of whipped cream and lightly dust with cocoa powder, shaved chocolate, or ground coffee.
  • Adding a shot of Kahlua to each serving makes a nice drink for the adults on a warm evening.
  • Note -- I often have enough coffee left in the pot to make a tray of cubes but in the summer I'll make an extra pot of decaf the night before to use for this and for iced coffee.
  • Using sugar-free hot chocolate mix and low-fat milk cuts calories if desired.
