Ingredients

6 cups strong brewed coffee
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 pint good chocolate ice cream
1 pint vanilla ice cream
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon sugar
Chocolate shavings

Instructions

In a medium bowl, beat the whipping cream and sugar until stiff peaks. Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
Whisk together coffee, sugar, cream, vanilla and salt in a large punch bowl until the sugar is dissolved.
Slice the ice cream into rounds and place it in the bowl - or you can make “pretty scoops”
Gently place the whipped cream in the punch bowl and top with the sprinkles.

Notes

Recipe Variations

Mocha: Add chocolate syrup or use chocolate milk in place of some cream.
Coffee Ice Cream: Swap in coffee ice cream for a bolder flavor.
Dairy-Free: Use vegan whipped topping and plant-based creamer.
Flavored Creamers: Try hazelnut, caramel, or my Crème Brûlée Coffee Creamer for a fun twist.

Make Ahead:
You can mix the coffee base and whip the cream a few hours in advance—just keep both chilled until you're ready to serve.

Leftovers:
Best enjoyed fresh, but if you have any leftovers, store them in the fridge and drink within a day. The texture will change as the ice cream melts, but the flavor still holds up!
