Coffee Ice Cubes
- 2 cups strong black coffee (470 g, cooled)
Cream Ice Cubes and Whipped Cream
- 1 ½ cups sweetened cream (355 mL), divided
- Whipped cream (from remaining sweetened cream after freezing)
Alcohol and Chocolate
- 3 oz Irish whiskey (90 mL), divided
- 1 bar chocolate, melted (about 1 tablespoon for blending, more for drizzle)
- Prepare Coffee Ice Cubes: Pour the strong black coffee into ice cube molds and freeze for 4 to 6 hours or until completely solid. These coffee cubes form the base of the frozen drink.
- Prepare Cream Ice Cubes: Pour sweetened cream into separate ice cube molds and freeze alongside the coffee cubes to maintain their smooth creaminess when blended.
- Whip the Cream: Whip the remaining sweetened cream (not used for ice cubes) using a mixer until soft peaks form. This whipped cream will be used later as a luxurious topping for the drink.
- Blend Coffee and Whiskey: Place 4 frozen coffee ice cubes and 1.5 oz of Irish whiskey into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is foamy and well combined.
- Add Cream and Chocolate: Add 2 frozen sweetened cream ice cubes and 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate to the blender. Blend again until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Serve: Pour the creamy, frozen mixture into serving glasses. Top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream and drizzle with additional melted chocolate for richness and presentation.
- Enjoy: Sip and savor this unique frozen Irish coffee dessert, perfect for warm weather indulgence.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee to retain bold coffee flavor after freezing and blending.
- Melt chocolate gently in a double boiler or microwave in short intervals to avoid burning.
- For a less sweet drink, reduce the amount of sweetened cream or use unsweetened cream to create your own sweetness level.
- Make sure the whiskey is added gradually and blended well for smooth integration.
- Whipped cream topping can be flavored with a splash of vanilla or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added depth.
