Mocha Coffee Coolers
Iced coffee blended with chocolate and served over ice. It’s the perfect summertime pick-me-up!
We’ve been in our new city for a few weeks now and I feel like I’m finally getting the hang of my new routine. Only, I have yet to find new childcare for John and so I have to entertain him all day, everyday while still trying to develop and write recipes just as I have before. Plus I’m 25 weeks pregnant.
All of this adds up to the fact that I am tired all the time. Coffee to the rescue!
These mocha coffee coolers are what’s going to get me through the summer. Strong coffee, half and half (or milk) and chocolate syrup are blended together with a little ice and served over more ice. It’s cold, frothy, sweet and guaranteed to perk you/me up.
Cheers to making it through another week. Happy Friday, friends!

Thanks for the recipe…I expect to be sipping one soon! Can you tell me more about the little glass coffeemaker you have there?
great recipe…nice click…:)
Hopefully you will find some part time day care soon for John. Momma and the little one need it. Now these would put a little pep into my step.
For diabetics I use a tsp of stevia or as you like, the brewed coffee, plus a little choc syrup, then some milk or almond milk. I use choc almond milk and cut out the choc syrup, then because I like carbonation, I add some seltzer water and ice cubes. Very refreshing and hardly any carbs.
Great suggestions, thanks for sharing!
