This frozen mocha is the perfect treat for a hot summer afternoon and makes enough to be a delicious pick-me-up for two.

Ultimate Frozen Mocha Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups strong brewed coffee, cooled and frozen into ice cubes
• 1 cup whole milk
• ¼ cup chocolate syrup
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, to taste)
• Whipped cream, for topping
• Extra chocolate syrup, for drizzling

How To Make Ultimate Frozen Mocha

1. Prepare the coffee cubes: Brew a pot of strong coffee. Pour the cooled coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Combine the ingredients: In a high-speed blender, add the frozen coffee cubes, milk, chocolate syrup, and granulated sugar if using.
3. Blend until smooth: Secure the lid and blend the mixture on high speed. Continue to blend until the coffee cubes are completely crushed and the drink has a smooth, slushy consistency.
4. Serve and garnish: Pour the frozen mocha into two tall glasses. Top generously with a swirl of whipped cream and a drizzle of extra chocolate syrup. Serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

• Freeze the coffee: Using frozen coffee cubes instead of regular ice is the key to a strong, flavorful frozen mocha. Regular ice will dilute the coffee taste as it melts.
• Adjust sweetness: The amount of sugar you add depends on your preference and the sweetness of your chocolate syrup. Start with less and add more to taste after a quick blend.
• Use a powerful blender: For the smoothest texture, a high-speed blender is best. This will ensure all the ice cubes are fully crushed and there are no chunky bits.
• Don’t over-blend: Blend just long enough to reach a slushy consistency. Over-blending can cause the mixture to become too thin.

What To Serve Frozen Mochas

Frozen mochas are a treat all on their own. For a delicious pairing, you can serve them with a simple pastry like a flaky croissant or a sweet chocolate chip cookie. They also go great with breakfast items like a warm muffin or a slice of coffee cake.

How To Store Frozen Mocha Leftovers

• Refrigerate: This drink is best enjoyed immediately after blending. If left in the refrigerator, it will separate and the ice will melt, resulting in a watery texture.
• Freeze: You can’t store the final blended drink in the freezer. However, you can make the coffee ice cubes ahead of time and store them in an airtight freezer bag for up to one month.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use instant coffee instead of brewed coffee? Yes, you can make a strong instant coffee, allow it to cool, and then freeze it into cubes. The flavor might be slightly different from freshly brewed coffee, but it will still work well.
• Can I make this with dairy-free milk? Absolutely. This recipe works great with almond milk, oat milk, or any other non-dairy milk alternative. The texture will be similar, though the flavor may vary slightly.
• What kind of coffee should I use? For the best flavor, use a strong brew or espresso. A dark roast coffee will give you a richer, more robust mocha flavor.
