INSTRUCTIONS:

COFFEE ICE CUBES

  • Pour the cold coffee into ice cube trays and freeze overnight.
  • Store in the freezer until ready to use.

COCONUT SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK

  • Add the coconut milk, sugar and vanilla to a small sauce pot. Bring to a low boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer on low for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Once the milk has thicken and reduced by half remove from the stove and allow to cool.
  • Pour the milk into a glass jar and store in the fridge until ready to use or up to two weeks.

CHOCOLATE SAUCE

  • Add the cocoa powder, honey, coconut milk, salt, chocolate and coconut oil to a small pot and place over medium heat. Slowly melt the chocolate and milk into each other.
  • Continue stirring until they become a smooth sauce.
  • Remove from the heat and store in the fridge until ready to use. Re-warm on the stove or in the microwave.

TO MAKE ONE ICED COFFEE

  • Mix together the sweetened condensed coconut milk, coconut milk and vanilla until smooth. Dip a large tall glass into 1 tablespoon chocolate sauce and then roll in toasted coconut.
  • Drizzle the remaining chocolate up and down the sides of the glass. Place a few coffee iced cubes in the glass.
  • Fill the glass with coffee.
  • Pour in the milk mixture and use a spoon to mix it all together. Top with coconut whipped cream if desired.

Ta-da! Enjoy :)
