Tips & Variations

• Use flavored Irish whiskey, like vanilla or honey, to add a unique twist to the drink.
• Swap the sweetened cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
• Adjust the sweetness by adding a teaspoon of sugar or flavored syrup before freezing.
• For an extra chocolate kick, sprinkle grated chocolate on top of the whipped cream.

Storage

Store any unused coffee and cream ice cubes in the freezer for up to one month. The whipped cream topping is best used fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. This drink is best enjoyed immediately after blending to preserve its texture and flavor.

FAQs

Can I make this drink without a blender?

While a blender is recommended for a smooth and frothy texture, you can let the coffee and cream cubes soften slightly, then mix with whiskey and stir well. However, the texture will be less creamy and smooth.

What kind of chocolate works best?

Use a good quality dark or milk chocolate bar that melts easily. You can also substitute with chocolate syrup for convenience, but melted solid chocolate adds a richer flavor.
