Ingredients
Scale
Mocha Punch Base
- 1 (64 ounce) carton mocha flavored iced coffee (about 8 cups)
Toppings
- 1 ½ cups sweetened whipped cream (such as Cool Whip or Reddi Whip) or vanilla ice cream
- Hershey’s chocolate bar, for grating (optional)
- Cocoa powder, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the mocha iced coffee: Slowly pour the mocha flavored iced coffee into a punch bowl or a very large glass serving bowl, ensuring not to create too many bubbles to keep it smooth.
- Add the topping: Just before serving, dollop the sweetened whipped cream or scoop vanilla ice cream on top of the mocha iced coffee in the punch bowl to add creamy richness and coolness.
- Garnish with chocolate: To enhance the flavor and presentation, grate a Hershey’s chocolate bar over the top of the punch using a vegetable peeler or cheese grater. Alternatively, sprinkle cocoa powder evenly through a fine mesh sieve.
Notes
- To make your own mocha iced coffee at home, combine 4 cups of strong brewed coffee (chilled), 4 cups of 2% or whole milk or half-and-half light cream, and ⅓ cup of chocolate syrup. Serve over ice cubes.
