Method
- 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.
- Pour in the cooled brewed coffee and add the milk, stirring continuously until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Add sugar if desired, and stir until fully dissolved, balancing the sweetness with the bitter notes of coffee and chocolate.
- Transfer the warm chocolate coffee mixture to a blender and quickly pulse to ensure it’s uniform and slightly cooled, about 30 seconds.
- 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.
- 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.
