Make the creamiest mocha iced coffee at home! Just 5 ingredients and a scoop of chocolate ice cream give this drink coffee shop flavor in minutes. No extra freezing needed!
The chocolate ice cream keeps the mocha iced coffee at tip-top creaminess. If you get a chocolate chip ice cream (which I highly recommend) you’ll taste tiny chocolate shavings while you drink your iced coffee. The creamiest iced coffee you’ve ever had, rivaling the best of coffee shops. Drink it alongside our mocha chocolate chip cookies for the perfect dessert combo.
The Secret to Café-Worthy Iced Coffee Is in Your Freezer
One of the things the kids and I loved to do in the summer is to go thrifting. We’d start out in the morning hours, hit 3 of our favorite stores and then stop to get some iced coffee to refuel after our bargain hunt.
Even after school started, we still enjoyed our afternoon iced coffee by making these creamy mocha iced coffees, made with ice cream!
No espresso machine needed, just simple ingredients including brewed coffee. Use decaf coffee if you are a coffee lover who loves coffee flavor but doesn’t want caffeine in the afternoon.
Don’t forget to pile it high with homemade whipped cream!
Love mocha flavor? Try our mocha chocolate chip cookie pie or mocha pound cake.
Enjoy! -Julie
Ingredients Needed
- Brewed coffee. Use your favorite brewed coffee in this mocha iced coffee recipe. Or if you want a stronger espresso flavor, use instant espresso powder or instant coffee granules. I keep it on hand for our tres leches chocolate cake recipe, mocha whoopie pies, box brownies and coffee toffee cookies.
- Heavy cream. This gives the ultimate creamy texture to the ice cream mixture base, but whole milk or half and half will work as well.
- Chocolate sauce. Your favorite chocolate ice cream syrup will work, or for extra decadence, use a high quality melted chocolate and drizzle it in.
- Ice cream. Choose a quality creamy ice cream base for the best smooth texture. Our family loves Kroger Private Selection ice cream. There’s none like it!
- Ice. You can add a little more or less if you’d like. My kids found that they liked it best with 3 cups of ice. Just enough to keep the mocha iced coffee refreshing without watering it down too much.

My husband and I are still enjoying our late day chocolate flavored frozen coffee into November. Here’s a tip- cold brew your coffee and it will always be cold and strong enough to hold the flavor with all the ice. It’s super easy. I scoop 3/4 cup ground coffee into a 16 oz glass jar and fill it with cold water. I gently shake it and refrigerate it for 12 to 24 hours. When it’s ready and your ready for a tasty coffee treat, strain the grounds out of the coffee, rinse out the jar and pour the strained coffee… Read more »
Wow this looks delicious! I love how you added an actual chocolate donut hole on top, such a yummy little treat. Great idea!
