We went through a faze of making too much coffee, so stumbling upon this recipe seemed like a great coffee saver. IMO, it's not worth the trouble. The coffee ice cubes always ended up getting stuck in the trays, and we couldn't come up with a method of getting them out. So, for a while we would use any salvaged cubes in plain old iced coffee. A nice way to have cold coffee without watering it down.

All I have to say is I will never have to buy another iced coffee drink again.

My husband and boys says this tastes just like Starbucks. I don't drink coffee, but I make it for them so I can't give my personal opinion. However, I know they won't leave the house without it! And, I make the coffee, let it sit for a while to cool off and add it, because I never have the time to make it the night before. It doesn't hurt that I don't have an ice cube tray! ; ) Nonetheless, my guys say 5 starts!

How fun is this! I made just one serving, which was about 5 coffee cubes, slightly more than 1/2 c milk, an old sugar packet I had, and I eyeballed the syrup -- probably about 1 tbsp. So yummy! Thanks for sharing! Like others have said, I will rarely need to go buy coffee drinks now. I'll just open my own shop! :-)

I've used a similar recipe for several years. I discovered that it's better to use chocolate ice cream or a powdered chocolate drink mix. Chocolate syrup tends to give the coffee a bitter taste.

Very good. I used more frozen coffee that asked for and it turned out great. Otherwise, it would have been too sweet.

Don't let the short list of ingredients fool you. I didn't add the sugar or the whipped cream because I figured it would be sweet enough for me with just the chocolate syrup and it was. This was so good! The taste reminded me a lot of Wendy's Frosty. The only thing different I'm going to do next time is use expresso rather than regular coffee just because I like to be able to taste the coffee a little more.

i have been making my own coffee drinks for years and never thought of freezing the coffee into ice cubes. i use vanilla creamer, milk, chocolate and caramel syrups so it is sweet enough without the sugar. thanks for the great tip of freezing the coffee.

This is great and easy. I make the coffee ice cubes double strength. I substituted 1/2 c milk with 1/2 either hazelnut coffee cream and reduced the chocolate syrup to 2 Tbls. I didn't use any sugar as the flavored creamer is sweetened. Ran through blender and partially froze (about 10 minutes). Served with whipped cream and drizzled caramel and chocolate syrup on top.

mmm... My husband forgot to take his coffee this morning and joked that I would "have to drink it all myself". Well let's hope he forgets it more often! I did make changes- simply due to impatience. I didn't make ice cubes- I heated coffee enough to melt sugar, put everything in blender with few ice cubes- still yummy- will try it correctly tomorrow!

This drink is pretty good. I like the recipe most because of the frozen coffee cubes. Great way to save and use up leftover coffee. I found it a bit sweet, so next time I may reduce the sugar or chocolate syrup. THX

As to my taste, I didn`t like chocolate syrup in this beverage. This was too rich and heavy. With almond syrup or caramel it would be better for me.

Way good, I didn't make any coffee ice cubes and poured the still semi hot coffee over regular ice cubes (the way I make iced tea). Still turned out great! Saves me 4 bucks at Caribou!

After a few adjustments, I am absolutely addicted to this -- and I don't like coffee. I wound up using chocolate milk and DaVinci gourmet carmel syrup -- sugar free, no calorie. It then has a chocolate, caramel flavor with no additional calories, other than the chocolate milk. Even have my husband hooked, and he doesn't like traditional coffee either.

As others have said this is a really great idea/recipe. It's so simple to do and delicious. Freezing leftover coffee using ice trays is very easy. You can adjust how sweet or chocolatey it is to your liking. Made them for husband and I yesterday morning and he really liked them!
