Coffee Break at CoffeeandTeaTime.com

Spring has arrived and my thoughts start drifting to coffee and tea recipes for the summer. One of my favorite summertime treats is a coffee frost. I guess I had this on my mind when I met some friends the other day, somehow we got onto the subject of ice cream. I mentioned that while I don’t care for coffee flavored ice cream, I love drinking a coffee frost. I was surprised my friends had never tried one. Of course that meant I had to make a batch for us.

It is very easy to make a coffee frost, you’ll actually even use some leftover coffee.

Ingredients for Coffee Frost

2 cups cold coffee (a little strong is best)
about 1/2 to 3/4 pint ice cream - chocolate or vanilla
1 cup strawberries (washed and cut in 1/4’s) or 1 banana
Put coffee and fruit into a blender and blend at high speed until smooth. Should take less than a minute.
Add ice cream and blend at medium speed until smooth, takes about 15-30 seconds.

Pour into glasses and enjoy. If you like it slightly thicker add a little more ice cream. If you are entertaining guests, serve with a strawberry for garnish.

We all enjoyed our coffee frosts the other day. I prefer using vanilla ice cream and strawberries but vanilla and banana was preferred by my friends. If you are making the frost with chocolate ice cream try adding a little extra fruit when blending.
