Frozen Coffee

Earlier this year I came across a recipe on IG for homemade frozen coffee. I do NOT like coffee, even though I was an exceptional barista back in the day, but I do love coffee ice cream, so I felt compelled to try it. And now I have a full-on addiction. It is such a simple recipe.

Equal parts, such as 1 cup or a half cup:
- water (I used filtered room temperature tap but the original recipe calls for hot water {NOT boiled, just hot})
- maple syrup (the real stuff, not Mrs. Butterworth or Aunt Jemima) 
- instant coffee

In a gigantic bowl, if going with 1 cup of each ingredient, use an electric mixer to beat the hell out of it for at least ten minutes. Watch in wonder as a puddle of mud poofs up and goes from dark brown to a coffee and cream colour. Once fully mixed and reaching the top of the bowl, transfer contents to a freezer safe container with a lid and pop it in the freezer overnight. The next day it will have the consistency of soft serve ice cream and be ready to use. Grab an ice cream scoop and toss one or two helpings into a tall glass and top off with phony milk or real if you are one of those people (lol) and dress it up as you see fit. I like to throw in a splash or three of caramel syrup, some chocolate oat milk, plain coconut milk, and sometimes some flavoured oat creamer just to kick up the texture a bit. Deee-lish!

Five minutes in...

Ten minutes in...

It's so fluffy!!

Ready to freeze!

Mmm....time to indulge!!
NOTE: It's even better with some whipped coconut cream. And in a Fishs Eddy glass!
