So, this past weekend the hubs and I decided to try our hands at a Coffee Mocha Shake…. and with the right ingredients, I think we found perfection. And let me tell you something, we love our coffee around here at the Rowes.
Yep, coffee fanatics are in the house! And in this 100+ degree weather, we’d prefer our coffee a little cold!
Coffee Mocha Shake
We made a list of the necessary ingredients, checked to see what we had in our cupboards and/or refrigerator and made our way to to the grocery store. These days, the coffee options are unlimited.
Have you ever noticed that? It’s a rainbow of colors and so many different flavors and names to choose from! I tend to be a Starbucks girl, but the hubs thinks that can be a little too robust at times.
So, we decided on Seattle’s Best Coffee in the Level 5, which is Dark and Intense. I like my coffee strong, but this will also be perfect for an iced coffee drink!
This would be a great time to put a plug in for the perfect cup of Homemade Iced Coffee. This is another delicious treat on a hot summer day!
Let’s jump right in, shall we? I think I’ve prolonged this delicious goodness long enough. Enjoy!
Coffee Mocha Shake
Ingredients
- Seattle's Best Coffee (preferably Level 5)
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- DaVinci Chocolate Syrup
- Hershey's Cocoa
- Spray Cool Whip
- Cinnamon, optional
Instructions
-
Make iced coffee. I used a coffee press, using 4 scoops of coffee to 24 oz of water. Bring water to a boil, then pour it over the grinds and let it steep for 4 minutes.
-
Place in pitcher and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for a few hours.
-
Place 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream, 4-5 oz. of iced coffee and 1/2 oz of the chocolate syrup into your blender and blend. (Please note this chocolate syrup is a syrup intended for coffee drinks, milk shakes, smoothies, etc.)
-
Once you have your shake consistency, pour into glass. Add cool whip and a sprinkle or two of cocoa and cinnamon, optional. Enjoy!

Wow! This looks wonderful. My mother invited us to a coffee shop this morning and I was overwhelmed by all the great selections. My hubs ordered something similar to this, but also included mint syrup. Mmm. Thanks so much for letting us know about the competition. Sounds like fun! Just won a red ribbon at the county fair yesterday for a spice cake.
Im not a big hot coffee drinker, but your recipe for this cold iced coffee sounds great! =)
Oooooh I haven’t gotten out my French Press since winter, but this makes me want to get it out…..as soon as I go to the store for ice cream!
This looks so yummy!
Yum! I love my coffee cold! This shake looks Awesome. Visiting from Alderberry Hill linkup 🙂
Ohhh…that sounds delicious! I am a huge coffee fan too!
Pure yumminess!
I could use one of these already as it’s already in the 90’s this morning going to be over 100* again!! Eeek!
I’m gonna have to get down on this one!
Yum! This looks delicious. I’ll have to find some alternative ingredients so I can make it here in Australia 🙂
Cutest French Press EVER!! This drink looks delicious, too!
I have tried to like cold or iced coffee multiple times over the years, and just could never get into it. the summer of 2012 may do it to me – your recipe looks delicious. It was 107 today (as you well know). Maybe today is the day that I become an iced coffee lover…..
Looks yummy! I’ll have to give it a shot! Thanks for sharing!
That looks so delicious! It has definitely been an iced coffee summer!
This looks delish! I could imagine making the coffee the night before and then waking up to a quick blend and this is a wonderful treat! I don’t have a fancy coffee pot, so letting it sit overnight would make it wonderfully strong. You should check out this post I created for hazelnut coffee icing – it tastes like coffee ice cream!
