5 Frozen Coffee Recipes That Are Perfect For Summer

What Are the Best Frozen Coffee Recipes for Summer?

Frozen coffee recipes blend chilled coffee with ice, milk, and flavorings like chocolate, caramel, or fruit to create thick, refreshing drinks that keep you caffeinated in hot weather. The five best frozen coffee recipes are S'mores Frozen Coffee, Salted Caramel Blended Coffee, Frozen Black Forest Mocha, Healthy Blended Coffee, and a Boozy Coffee Slushie — each using a different Operator Coffee roast.

The warmer the weather gets, the less and less you may opt for hot coffee. Don't worry, we have compiled a list of delicious frozen coffee recipes below that will keep you cool and caffeinated all summer long.

1. S'mores Frozen Coffee

Ingredients:

1 cup of 2 In 2 Out brewed coffee (cooled down)

1/4 cup half and half (sub with milk or cream)

1 tbsp + 1 tsp sugar

1 tbsp chocolate syrup

1 graham cracker crumbled

For Garnish:

Whipped cream

1 small piece of milk chocolate grated

1 marshmallow

Instructions:

1. Fill a blender with 1 and 1/2 cups of ice cubes.
2. Add in coffee, half & half, sugar, chocolate syrup and the crumbled graham cracker.
3. Blend until a thick milkshake-like consistency.
4. Pour into a glass or mug.
5. Pipe on the whipped cream by putting it in a large ziplock bag and cutting off a half inch of the corner. Then pipe it on like an ice cream cone on top of the coffee.
6. Garnish with the chocolate flakes and some graham cracker crumble sprinkled on top. Then use a lighter to burn the end of a marshmallow and stick that into the whipped cream.

2. Salted Caramel Blended Coffee

Ingredients:

1 cup cold brew Breacher Blend coffee

Coffee ice cubes

1/2 cup International Delight Salted Caramel Mocha Creamer

1/2 cup milk

Caramel sauce garnish

Whipped cream garnish

Sea salt garnish

Instructions:

1. Pour 1 cup of cold brew coffee or your favorite standard brew into ice cube tray (it takes about 2 cups to fully fill tray). Freeze.
2. Once coffee ice cubes are frozen, transfer to a blender with 1/2 cup International Delight Salted Caramel Mocha Creamer and 1/2 cup milk and blend on high for 30 seconds or until smooth.
3. Serve immediately topped with whipped cream, caramel sauce and sea salt sprinkled on top.

3. Frozen Black Forest Mocha Coffee

Ingredients:

1 cup brewed and cooled Para Blend

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup fresh or frozen cherries halved and pitted

3 Tablespoons chocolate syrup

1 cup ice

Instructions:

1. Brew your coffee for an 8 ounce portion. Set aside to cool or chill in the refrigerator. If the coffee is still hot, it will melt the ice and lose the frozen effect.
2. In a blender, combine the coffee, milk, cherries, chocolate, and ice. Blend until the ice is crushed. Taste and add additional ingredients as desired or more ice for a thicker drink.
3. Pour into a glass garnished with chocolate syrup. Top with whipped cream, chocolate chips, and additional cherries if desired. Serve immediately.

1/3 cup of The Harvest, brewed and chilled

1/4 cup coconut milk

1 scoop collagen

1. Making Cold Brew Concentrate
2. Add your cold brew to an ice cube tray and freeze for 4-5 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make frozen coffee without a blender?
Yes. Brew strong coffee, pour over ice, and add milk and flavorings. The texture won't be as thick, but the flavor will be there. For a slushie texture without a blender, freeze coffee ice cubes and crush them.

What's the best coffee roast for frozen drinks?
Medium and dark roasts work best because their bolder flavors stand up to ice and milk. Try Breacher Blend, Para Blend, or Trident Roast.

How do I keep frozen coffee from getting watery?
Use coffee ice cubes instead of regular ice. Freeze leftover brewed coffee in ice cube trays and use those in your blended drinks.
