Coffee Punch
This coffee punch is the perfect make ahead treat for any gathering! You don’t even have to be a coffee lover to love this coffee punch!
I grew up going to baby showers and wedding showers my whole life. Each of them had some sort of fruity punch. Lots of orange flavored or strawberry flavored. It wasn’t until adulthood I discovered coffee punch.
It’s the ultimate indulgent drink! Coffee, chocolate syrup, sugar, milk, and ice cream. No wonder it’s delicious right! Not only is coffee punch delicious, but it will have everyone asking you for the recipe. I love when I find a reason to make this punch to enjoy. I don’t hate leftovers either.
Why You’ll Love Coffee Punch
Adaptable- This recipe in my opinion is the perfect amount of coffee. I love how sweet it is! However, this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, or coffee, haha. If you prefer a stronger coffee taste simply add more instant coffee to your initial mixture to get it a bolder flavor.
Make Ahead- When throwing a gathering it can be stressful to try to get everything ready the day of. This recipe is an easy make ahead that just has to be thrown together right before the party happens.
Ingredients
- Instant Coffee
- Sugar
- Vanilla
- Chocolate Syrup
- Whole Milk
- Vanilla Ice Cream
How to Make Coffee Punch
Step 1: Bring water to a boil and turn off heat.
Step 2: Add in the instant coffee and sugar. Stir to dissolve. Allow it to completely cool.
Step 3: Add in the vanilla.
Step 4: Add in the chocolate syrup and milk.
Step 5: Stir well to combine, the chocolate syrup is harder to incorporate.
Step 6: When ready to serve add in your vanilla ice cream.
Tips for Coffee Punch
- It is easiest to store in gallon pitchers.
- Also, If you like a stronger coffee flavor add more instant coffee into the hot water.
- Last, I prefer to pour half the mixture first with one gallon of ice cream. Then if I need more I can add the other gallon of liquid and another gallon of ice cream. If you have a large gathering I would do it all at once and then just add half your ice cream until you need another layer of it.
