Have you ever had a happy mistake when creating new recipes? This is exactly what happened the other day when I was creating a new summer coffee drink. My oops turned into one of the best coffee drinks I have ever made! I froze some of my new International Delight Iced Coffee into ice cube trays. I love substituting my ice with frozen coffee to make iced coffee drinks a little stronger. What happened this time was the frozen coffee turned into a slushy mix and made a delicious drink! Here is how I made it:
First, gather all your ingredients.
Make a half tray of coffee ice cubes by freezing International Delight Iced Coffee. I used Vanilla, but you can use whatever flavor you would like.
Pour about 1/2 cup of milk into your cup, over the ice.
Add your International Delight Iced Coffee, leaving room for your cream.
Add International Delight York Peppermint Patty Creamer to your drink. I added a couple of tablespoons of the cream as well as a drop of peppermint extract because I wanted it to be really minty!
I added some chocolate syrup because I had the Vanilla International Delight Iced Coffee on hand. If you have the mocha flavored you can skip this step! Then I crushed the ice cubes with a large spoon allowing them to turn into a slushy consistency.
Top it with some whipped cream and chocolate and there you go, your own Mint Mocha Slushy!
I found my International Delight Iced Coffee at Walmart, but I have seen it at almost all of the places I go to grocery shop! At $4 for a half gallon, it is a great bargain. If I go to a coffee shop to buy an ice mocha, it will cost me about $5 for one cup!

Have a great, cool summer!

WOW…love the ice cube idea. I actually make ice tea cubes so my iced tea does not become diluted…so naturally, iced coffee ice cubes would be the same!!! One of those why didn’t I think of that moments!!! TY for sharing the great images and recipe!!!

I love your ice cube idea! I made a smoothie and the ice totally distracted from the flavor of the coffee. Next time, next time!!

I love that you made ice cubes with it. My daughter recommended I do that too!

Sounds delicious! My 19 year old makes me keep International Delights iced coffee in the frig whenever she is home.

Thanks for the recipe, it looks very tasty. Also, as you mentioned it would be cheaper than buying one at the local coffee shop.
