Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee cooled to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 1/2 cup milk any type, such as whole or almond

Equipment

  • Coffee maker
  • Freezer
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool to room temperature, which helps prevent ice crystals from forming during freezing.
  2. Pour the cooled coffee into a mixing bowl or a large measuring cup and stir in the sugar until completely dissolved. This ensures even sweetness throughout.
  3. Add the milk to the coffee mixture and whisk well to combine, creating a creamy base for the slushie.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a shallow freezer-safe dish or a large shallow tray, spreading it out evenly with a spatula for quick and uniform freezing.
  5. Place the dish in the freezer and freeze for about 1 hour, then remove and use a fork to scrape and stir the partially frozen mixture, breaking up ice crystals.
  6. Return the dish to the freezer, and every 30 minutes, repeat the scraping and stirring process until the slushie reaches a smooth, scoopable consistency—about 2-3 hours total.
  7. Once frozen to a soft, icy, yet scoopable texture, serve the coffee slushie in chilled glasses, optionally garnished with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for presentation.

Notes

For a richer flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a touch of sweetened condensed milk before freezing.
