Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 1 1/2 quarts water
- 3/4 cup prepared chocolate syrup
- 1/2 cup powdered vanilla coffee creamer
Sweeteners and Coffee
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons instant coffee granules
Ice Cream and Toppings
- 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 gallon chocolate ice cream
- Whipped topping or whipped cream (about 2 cups or to taste)
- Chocolate curls or shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Boil Water and Mix Ingredients: In a large saucepan, bring 1 1/2 quarts of water to a boil. Remove it from the heat and immediately add the prepared chocolate syrup, powdered vanilla coffee creamer, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and instant coffee granules. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are completely dissolved.
- Chill the Punch: Cover the saucepan and refrigerate the mixture until it is cold, which takes about 3 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
- Prepare Punch for Serving: About 20 minutes before serving, pour the chilled chocolate coffee punch into a punch bowl. Use a large ice cream scoop to place dollops of vanilla and chocolate ice cream on top of the punch. Stir briefly and then let the punch sit until the ice cream melts slightly and spreads over the surface, creating a creamy layer.
- Garnish and Serve: Heap whipped topping or whipped cream in the center of the punch bowl. Garnish the punch with chocolate curls or shavings to add an elegant and tasty finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For best flavor, refrigerate the punch overnight instead of just 3 hours.
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugars used.
- Use high-quality instant coffee granules for a richer coffee flavor.
- Add the ice cream slowly to get a perfect creamy topping without fully melting it too fast.
- Chocolate curls can be made by shaving a chocolate bar with a vegetable peeler.
