Frosted Coffee Slush

This frozen dessert transforms brewed coffee and sugar into a slushy, icy treat with a granular but smooth texture. The mixture is poured into a dish and frozen, then stirred periodically to achieve an evenly icy consistency with a rich coffee flavor. The final product resembles a coffee-flavored ice that can be scooped or spooned as a refreshing summer indulgence.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee cooled to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • pinch salt optional, enhances flavor

Equipment

  • Coffee maker or brewing device
  • Freezer
  • Metal dish or shallow container
  • Fork or spatula

Method
 

  1. Mix the hot brewed coffee with the granulated sugar and salt, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Allow the coffee mixture to cool to room temperature, which helps prevent uneven freezing and crystallization.
  3. Pour the cooled coffee mixture into a shallow metal dish, spreading it out evenly to promote quick and uniform freezing.
  4. Place the dish into the freezer, setting a timer for 30 minutes.
  5. After 30 minutes, remove the dish and use a fork or spatula to scrape and break up the partially frozen coffee, mixing any icy parts to ensure even distribution.
  6. Return the dish to the freezer and repeat the scraping process every 20-30 minutes, about 3-4 times, until the mixture has a fluffy, granular icy texture.
  7. Once the coffee is evenly frozen and resembles a slushy ice, serve directly from the freezer with a spoon or scoop.

Notes

For a stronger coffee flavor, add a shot of cold brew espresso before freezing. To enhance aroma, sprinkle a little cinnamon or cocoa powder over the top before serving.
