Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup instant espresso powder Must be INSTANT
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup granular sugar
- 2 cups milk
- 1 16-ounce container chocolate ice cream
- Whipped Cream for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium-size saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the espresso powder, cocoa powder, and sweetener until dissolved. Allow to cool completely, then cover and 4 hours or overnight.
- Stir the expresso mixture. Pour it into a two-size punch bowl. Stir in milk until well combined. Use a scoop to drop scoops of the ice cream evenly across the punch. Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving so the ice cream becomes melty.
- Ladle the punch into punch glasses or glass coffee mugs. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
If you’re using a smaller punch bowl, use half of the espresso liquid, half of the milk, and half of the ice cream for the first bowl. When it starts getting low, make the second batch with the remaining ingredients so everyone can enjoy more.
To make Low Carb
- Replace the milk with 1 cup heavy cream and 1 cup unsweetened almond milk.
- Swap the sugar for a zero-sugar granular sweetener such as monk fruit or erythritol.
- Use Breyers Carb Smart chocolate ice cream (or another low carb chocolate ice cream) instead of regular chocolate ice cream.
