AWESOME! It was great. I used a bit less milk than it called for because I'm not a fan of things overly sweet. I used leftover coffee, and this is my new treat! I can finally save money at Starbucks now that I have found a perfect substitution!

We make iced coffee often (with our leftover coffee during the day), and it is always just "okay". Today I thought I would try and see if there were any other ideas of how to make it better - and wow - the condensed milk did it. WE love it! I eyeballed most of the recipe (not much for measuring) and it came out terrific. Thanks for sharing the idea and looking forward to having it again and again and again and...

It was ok. I didn't find it too sweet. I could taste the sweetened condensed milk above all flavors. I might or might not make this again. I am definately on the lookout for a better iced coffee recipe. Thanks for getting me started, though.

Tastes absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe pretty much as stated except I used 1/2 cup of leftover coffee. I guess some people didn't read the recipe right because it does say to use 1/2 of a 5oz can of sweetened condensed milk, not the WHOLE can. No wonder some people said it was too sweet. Next time, I'll try using ice cubes made out of coffee. My blender kind of sucks and the ice stays chunky.

This is really good iced coffee^^ First time I ever made it and a success. I didn't have condensed milk so I used evaporated and added sugar to it (as someone had said in the comments). I added some extra ice cubes to make it less thick and everyone loved it!

Delicious! I was a bit skeptical when I saw the short list of ingredients but this was unbelievably good. Tastes just like one of those drinks you'd pay $4+ for at an expensive coffee joint. As its on the sweet side, I tend to substitute evaporated milk for the sweetened condensed and then add sugar to bring it to my own desired level of sweetness. You can also swap out the chocolate syrup with caramel to turn it into a caramel frappe. I am experimenting with using real coffee in this recipe as the instant doesn't have such a good flavor but in a pinch, this works great as stated.

This is a very good recipe. The only thing I would change is to add less sweetened condensed milk. 5oz is too much for me, very sweet. I would use maybe half that much. Otherwise a great recipe. Thanks!

15 minutes ago I found this recipe and now I am happily drinking my iced coffee! I was craving an iced coffee so I searched for a quick and easy recipe so that I could make one here at home. This was the first recipe I saw and it looked simple enough, so I gave it a shot. I thought it would just taste "ok," but I am blown away! Very deliciouso! After making this, I feel so proud that I could make something this magnificent! I used caramel syrup instead of chocolate, and it's fabulous. It tastes just like a caramel frappuccino from Starbucks. It's a bit too sweet, but I think that was my fault because I didn't measure out the sweetened condensed milk, I just eyeballed it. So I probably put in too much. But it's still really really good. Thank you for sharing this recipe, it's a keeper!

We don't have condensed milk in this part of the world, so I used a container of plain yogurt and threw in some sugar to balance out the tartness. This was delicious and refreshing.

Great recipe! A little sweet for my taste though. I cut back on the sweetened, condensed milk and the syrup and it was perfect. The other change I made was to use leftover coffee but freeze it in ice cube trays. I use that instead of ice, so anything that melts becomes coffee instead of water.

This really does taste like something you would find at an expensive coffee house. I used fat free sweetened condensed milk and fat free half and half, I also added about a tablespoon of Kaluha to my glass. since my blender is a quitter when it comes to crushing ice, I put the ice in a plastic bag and hit it with a mallet to break it up a bit, then I put the ice in the blender to finish the job. Thank you for sharing this recipe and saving us all some money!

WOW!!! I have tried nearly every single "DIY" coffee drinks and not once have I been pleased. But THIS.. oh wow, thank you so much. I would have never even considered using condensed milk in a recipe such as this, but go figure, that's what all the other recipes are lacking! This tastes just like what I would pay $4.66 for at Starbucks. HA! Looks like I'll be pocketing that money from now on. I did make a few minor changes. The changes I made created 3 tall glass servings. I'm currently living overseas and we use the Senseo coffee machines; so I used 2 cups (2 pods) of regular Senseo coffee. 1/2 cup of milk, 4-5 oz. condensed milk and 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons of vanilla coffee syrup. Blend it all together and you are left with a cheaper, easier and just as delicious coffee drink. I was so happy about this recipe that I did the math, and I would spend between $30+ a WEEK (1 drink a day) and now with this recipe I am only spending 75 CENTS per large glass!!! Oh man, I'm so happy I don't know what do with myself. LOL
