Introduction
This summery palate cooler is the result of my effort to "kill two birds with one stone." First, I had to combat the urge to stop and buy one of those expensive lattes or iced coffees. Next, there was the two cups remaining of my morning coffee brew that was always getting dumped out. Voila! The two ideas came together in this drink that I hope you will all enjoy. An added payoff is the 6 gm protein in each serving. I tried to streamline the calorie count as low as possible and still make it seem like the little luxury of my day. Enjoy!!

Ingredients
-
16 coffee ice cubes (2 cups coffee in usual tray)
2 cups nonfat milk
4 tablespoons half and half cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons Hershey's sugar-free chocolate syrup
2 tbsp aerosol whipped cream (approximate)
1 ounce chocolate sprinkles OR
Dusting of chocolate powder (optional)
Directions
Note: Time of preparation does not include the time necessary to freeze the tray of coffee ice cubes.
First, place the coffee ice cubes in electric blender. Add in this order: 2 cups of cold nonfat milk, the powdered sugar, and then the sugar-free chocolate syrup (Hershey's has no comparison for flavor, so I don't substitute that). Turn on the blender and blend on highest speed (frappe) for approximately one minute, or until mixture is thick and coffee cubes are entirely blended.
Take a moment to taste for individual preferences and add chocolate syrup or any saved cold coffee as desired.
Pour into 10 oz. glass and add sprayed on whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles; or dust with powdered chocolate.
ADDITIONAL TIP: If only one serving used, you may refrigerate remaining drink in the blender container for later use; or you could pour the remainder back in the ice cube tray; freeze again. Later, pop the newly frozen cubes back into the blender and there you are--another serving or two!
