Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz dark chocolate chopped
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee cooled
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 2 cups crushed ice
  • 1 tbsp sugar optional, to enhance sweetness

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Place the chopped dark chocolate in a saucepan and melt over low heat, stirring gently until smooth and glossy—this fills your kitchen with a rich chocolate aroma.
  2. Pour in the cooled brewed coffee and add the milk, stirring continuously until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add sugar if desired, and stir until fully dissolved, balancing the sweetness with the bitter notes of coffee and chocolate.
  4. Transfer the warm chocolate coffee mixture to a blender and quickly pulse to ensure it’s uniform and slightly cooled, about 30 seconds.
  5. Add the crushed ice to the blender, then secure the lid tightly, and blend until you get a thick, creamy slushie—listen for a smooth whirring sound and watch as the mixture turns icy and velvety.
  6. Pour the icy mixture into glasses, revealing a rich, dark beverage with a frosty surface and a slightly thickened texture that’s smooth to the touch.

Notes

Adjust the amount of crushed ice for your preferred slushiness. For a creamier texture, substitute some milk with heavy cream. For an extra boost of flavor, top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder before serving.
