Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 (64 ounce) carton mocha flavored iced coffee (about 8 cups)
- 1 ½ cups sweetened whipped cream (such as Cool Whip, Reddi Whip) or vanilla ice cream
Optional Garnish
- Hershey’s chocolate bar, grated
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Pour the mocha iced coffee: Slowly pour the mocha flavored iced coffee into a punch bowl or a very large glass serving bowl to create the base of your punch.
- Add the whipped cream or ice cream: Just before serving, dollop sweetened whipped cream or scoop vanilla ice cream on top of the mocha iced coffee in the punch bowl, adding a creamy richness to the drink.
- Garnish the punch: To enhance the presentation and flavor, grate a Hershey’s chocolate bar over the punch using a vegetable peeler or cheese grater. Alternatively, sprinkle cocoa powder through a fine mesh sieve for a delicate finish.
Notes
- To make your own mocha iced coffee, combine 4 cups strong brewed coffee (chilled), 4 cups 2% or whole milk or half-and-half/light cream, and ⅓ cup chocolate syrup. Serve over ice cubes for an easy homemade version.
- This punch is best served immediately after adding whipped cream or ice cream to prevent melting and maintain texture.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute whipped cream with coconut whipped topping and use a dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
