Here we are going with plain, just the main ingredients without any add ins. If you love a mocha twist you could follow our chocolate cream cold brew recipe, freeze that base in your ice cube tray and go from there. Both are Dunkin Donuts drink favorites that we have figured out how to make right at home in your kitchen.
Tips
If you make it this way, freezing the actual main ingredient, it will be a bolder flavor. Think about it. Using the ingredients + plain water ice cubes will add a lot of flavorless liquid into the mix which will dilute your drink and it won’t taste like you’re used to. THIS is the way to mimic it in a copycat, almost identical way.
The same really can go for other drinks such as if you wanted to make frozen hot chocolate. No brewing required with that one but if you make or buy a gallon of chocolate milk, freeze into trays and blend with a milk product, or heavy cream you can make something your kids will love alongside you too.
If you wanted to make it more like mocha with these steps you could add a few tbsp of chocolate syrup into the blender. Use the same whipped topping as we do in our whipped coffee for a fun twist. Feel free to try a different tweaks like caramel sauce too to see which you love better.
How to Make Frozen Coffee in Blender
Brew a cup or pot off coffee (approx. 8-10 oz for each serving). Pour the brewed coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze for several hours or until firm. Remove frozen cold coffee ice cubes the ice cube tray and place in a blender, along with milk and honey (or preferred sweetener). Blend until you have a smooth consistency. Pour iced coffee into a cup and top with whipped cream, cool whip, coffee frosting and/or chocolate shavings, if desired.
Skinny Frozen Coffee
Want to make this coffee drink with less calories? Sugar free sweeteners are great alternatives. Use fat free vanilla almond milk or milk too. I will say that the less fat you add into the mix to blend together the less creamy it will be overall. Fat = creamy.
For dairy free you can use cashew, almond, or even better use coconut milk. As for the other 2 ingredients there are several alternatives as well. Let’s talk about different sweeteners for a minute shall we. If you have an allergy or dislike, alternatives for honey would be;
