If it's too hot for a cup of coffee, and the sun is melting your iced coffee, but you just can't do without your coffee... this Farmhouse Signature Recipe is for you! Skip the coffee shop and follow me to the kitchen for a cool, delicious Vanilla Coffee Frost.
INGREDIENTS
3 Cups cold black coffee (brewed)
1/4 Cup milk
3 Tablespoons Vanilla Bean Dreams Coffee Syrup
1 dozen coffee ice cubes*
1 scoop Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla (TM) ice cream
DIRECTIONS
In blender jar combine coffee, milk, Vanilla Bean Dreams Coffee Syrup, and coffee ice cubes.
With cover in place, pulse blender in 3 second bursts until ice begins to break up. Blend at high speed until smooth.
Pour into a quart sized Mason Jar, add a scoop of ice cream to the top and Enjoy! ♥
Speaking of Mason Jars...
***BONUS***
Save time washing up with this bonus tip: blend your Vanilla Coffee Frost right in the mason jar!
The screw on base, gasket and blade on most standard blenders will fit perfectly on a regular mouth Mason Jar! If yours does, pour it up, mix it up, and drink it up - right out of the jar.
*Coffee ice cubes are an integral element to this recipe as regular ice will leave the finished beverage watered down. I am of the opinion that it is a sin to pour coffee down the sink so, on the rare occasion when there is "leftover" coffee in the Farmhouse, I freeze it in ice cube trays. Because "leftover" coffee is uncommon around here, I often brew a strong pot and allow it to cool before pouring it up to freeze.
I invite you to give this recipe a try and, should you have suggestions for improvements, please leave them in the Comments section!
Keep it cool!
When you say down on the farm, you're not kidding!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that Mason jars fit on a blender. I ordered some this year from the states because I use them to vacuum seal stuff. I'm going to make this in my blender. :)
Yes Ma'am!
DeleteI cannot guarantee that this will work with every blender but, I have the newer Oster (pictured) as well as a 'vintage' Sunbeam (which has mixed everything from baby food to calf milk replacer over the past 25 years), and the threaded bottom cap, gasket, and blade assembly from both fit just right on a standard mouth Mason Jar.
This tip makes for quick and easy cleanup and is very convenient for breakfast smoothies in a hurry!
Thanks for stopping by: I hope you enjoy the Vanilla Coffee Frost!
