Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee chilled
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or to taste
  • 1/4 cup milk dairy or non-dairy of your choice, e.g., almond, oat, soy
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional, for added depth
  • whipped cream for topping (optional)
  • chocolate syrup for drizzling (optional)

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. Brew a strong batch of your favorite coffee (medium or dark roast recommended). Allow it to cool completely before proceeding. Speed this up by brewing it stronger than usual and then chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or by pouring it over a few ice cubes in a separate glass while it's still hot, then discarding the melted ice.

  2. In a small bowl or directly in your blender cup, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated sugar. Add about 2-3 tablespoons of the chilled brewed coffee to this mixture. Stir vigorously until a smooth, thick paste or syrup forms. Adjust sugar quantity based on your preferred sweetness.

  3. Add the chilled brewed coffee, the prepared chocolate syrup mixture, and your chosen milk to the blender. If you're using vanilla extract, add it now.

  4. Secure the lid on your blender and process the mixture until it is smooth and well combined.
  5. Add the ice cubes to the blender. Blend again for about 30-45 seconds, or until the ice is finely crushed and incorporated, creating a wonderfully cold and slightly slushy texture.
