Last week I co-hosted a baby shower for a good friend of mine that is having baby #3. She’s got 2 amazing girls and finally having a boy so that’s as good of reason as ever to have a gathering to celebrate how amazing she is. She loves coffee so I was excited to finally try this punch out. It makes a lot so it’s probably one I could have figured out how to down size, but what the heck. The punch came out really good and taste like those iced mocha drinks I usually get at Starbucks. I used a chocolate chunk ice cream, which I don’t recommend. The chunks sunk to the bottom of the bowl and then got stuck in the glasses.
Mocha Coffee Punch
(Adapted from Elizabeth Hyndman)
2 Quarts of Brewed Coffee** (cooled to room temperature)
3/4 Cup of Sugar
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
2 Cups Half-and-Half
2 Quarts Chocolate Ice Cream, Softened
1 (8 oz.) Frozen Whipped Topping, Thawed
Chocolate Sprinkles (optional)
Combine coffee, sugar, and vanilla. I did this while the coffee was still warm, so that it would dissolve better.
Add the half-and-half to the coffee.
Scoop out the ice cream into your punch bowl.
Pour the coffee on top.
Dollop the whipped topping on.
Sprinkle the sprinkles.
