Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 c cold whole or lowfat milk (about 4 ounces)
1/4 c coffee syrup (about 2 ounces)
8 medium scoops coffee ice cream (about 1 quart/24 ounces), softened until just melty at the edges

Steps:

  • 1. Place the milk and syrup in a blender and blend to mix thoroughly, about 10 seconds.
  • 2. Add the ice cream and pulse several times to begin breaking it up.
  • 3. With the blender motor off, use a flexible spatula to mash the mixture down onto the blender blade.
  • 4. Continue pulsing, stopping, and mashing until the mixture is well blended, thick, and moves easily in the blender jar, roughly 30 to 90 seconds.
  • 5. Pour into a chilled glass or glasses, and serve at once.

Sandwiches just aren't sandwiches in R.I. They are called "grinders", "subs" and are made on "torpedo" rolls. "Torpedo" rolls can be filled with Italian cold cuts, meatballs & peppers,or veal parmesan. In other parts of the country, these sandwiches are called "heros", "hoagies" or "po'boys". Be creative and enjoy!
