Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by brewing a strong pot of coffee—aim for about 2 cups of freshly brewed coffee. Stir in the sugar until it dissolves.
  2. Once the coffee is cooled slightly, stir in the half & half, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the blended coffee mixture into freezable containers and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
  4. Before serving, let the container sit out for about 10-15 minutes to soften the slush.
  5. Serve generous portions into tall glasses and top with whipped topping.
