The Best of Cooking Light
List of Ingredients
1 cup boiling water
2 teaspoons instant espresso or 4 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water, divided
2 cups fat-free milk
1/2 cup hot cocoa mix
2 cups crushed ice
Recipe
Combine boiling water and espresso; stir until coffee dissolves. Pour into an ice cube tray; freeze.
Combine the sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat; cook until sugar dissolves. Continue cooking 5 minutes or until golden. Remove from heat; carefully stir in 1/4 cup water with a whisk (the mixture will bubble vigorously). Cool. Pour into a container; cover and chill.
To serve, combine caramelized sugar, milk, and cocoa mix in a blender; process until well-blended. With blender on, add the coffee ice cubes, 1 at a time; process until smooth. Add crushed ice, and process until smooth. Serve immediately.
Makes 5 cups.
