With summer just around the corner, I am sure you, like many other coffee lovers, will find yourself running to the local (or for me not so local) Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks to indulge in a rather ridiculously price Mocha-Chip-Iced-Java-Chino what have you. Instead of spending hour after hour in line, in the car, or waiting, why not do it yourself? Of course, like everything else in my world I have a solution to the mammoth problem that hits me weekly. I want something cold, I want something refreshing, and I want something Caffeinated! Here is a little recipe to enjoy, on the house!
Mint Mocha Chip Blended Coffee Drink... With a Kick!
1/8 cup chocolate chips chopped into small bits
1 cup coffee (you can make it instant, or brew it before hand I like to brew some and keep it overnight in the fridge) Cooled to room temperature.
1/8 tsp mint extract
1 tbsp powdered creamer
3 tbsp coffee syrup (vanilla syrup works as well)
2-3 tbsp chocolate syrup
Ice
Put coffee, creamer, extract and syrups in blender. Add ice till it reaches the 4cup mark. Blend on "crush ice" setting. Once large chunks are gone switch to "high" power for about 10 seconds. Add chips and pulse three times till they are scattered into the mix. Pour a glass quick, and top with whipped cream and an extra drizzle of chocolate syrup.
**If you want "A Kick" add 3 shots of Godiva Chocolate Liqueur when first ingredients.**
You can basically change the recipe to your liking. Like it sweeter? Add powdered sugar (it dissolves faster than regular sugar) Like it bitter? leave out the syrups. Try it plain, or jazz it up with raspberry instead of mint! It will leave you with the satisfaction of a store bought beverage without the damage to your wallet!
